The Eddy Duchin Story is a 1956 American biopic film of band leader and pianist Eddy Duchin starring Tyrone Power and Kim Novak. Filmed in CinemaScope, the Technicolor production was directed by George Sidney and written by Samuel A. Taylor. Harry Stradling received an Academy Award nomination for his cinematography. The picture received four nominations in total and was one of the highest-grossing films of 1956. Incorporating signature elements of Duchin's style into his own, Carmen Cavallaro performed the piano music for the film. Some of the film's box office success can be attributed to the appearance of Novak in ads for No-Cal diet soda. Novak became one of the first celebrities to be featured in advertisements for soft drinks, and each ad also featured a reminder to see Novak in The Eddy Duchin Story. Homer Van Pelt worked as a still photographer for motion pictures. Homer's entire family was involved in the entertainment industry. Homer's sisters were both ballet dancers. Homer and his older brothers started on stage and were eventually involved in shooting silent movies in the 1920's. In those days, anyone with a motion picture camera and an imagination could start a motion picture production company as this as before the advent of the major studios. Eventually the process became more technical with the advent of "talkies" and many of the theaters were purchased by individuals who would only show films shot by their own production companies. Within a few years, the little guys were shut out of the motion picture business with their only option being to work as an employee at one of the major studios such as Warner Bros, MGM, Fox or Columbia. Van Pelt Productions was eventually dissolved after releasing just two full length feature films. Homer went to work for Columbia Studios as a camera operator and still photographer. Immediately after the bombing of Pearl Harbor the call went out for photographers, regardless of age, to join the military. A special photographic unit was formed as part of the OSS which later evolved into the CIA.
