Written in 1923 by Ted Snyder with lyrics from Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby, Who's Sorry Now? was featured in the Marx Brothers film A Night in Casablanca (1946) and in the 1950 film Three Little Words, where it was sung by Gloria DeHaven. Karen Elson with Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks recorded the song for an episode of the HBO television series Boardwalk Empire. It was also featured in 1979 in Bob Fosse's All That Jazz starring Roy Scheider (here). The song gave American singer Connie Francis her major solo debut hit, which in March 1958 reached number 4 on Billboard's Hot 100. The single, which would become Francis's signature record, spent a total of 22 weeks on the Hot 100 – the longest of any of her hits — and was the first of her eight singles to be certified gold in America. In May and June 1958 the single spent six weeks at number one in on the UK singles chart.
