"Secret Love" was a smash hit in 1953 from the film "Calamity Jane" starring screen idol DORIS DAY. My mom was crazy about Doris, along with Patty Page, Perry Como and other romantic balladeers of the 1950s.

Your comment about placement of adjectives in French piqued my curiosity. I also studied the language for only two years, and I don't even remember discussion of the matter. Here's commentary from a website--reliability unknown--that appears to resolve the question:

There are a few dozen French adjectives that precede nouns. Most of these can be memorized with the simple acronym BAGS:

Beauty
une belle fille
un joli appartement

Age
un jeune homme
une vieille dame

Good and bad
une bonne idée
un mauvais restaurant

Size
un grand livre
une petite maison
