I can never tell one arrangement from another, but boy, it just sounds weird hearing it sung in English. Haha!! I'm so used to the Mandarin version from Temple of Doom.
I just went back and listened to it again, then compared it against the TOD soundtrack. It very much seems to be a variation on Williams' arrangement, with a few cuts to fit the allotted time, and reorchestrated for the smaller live orchestra.

I HAVE THE original sheet but have not looked into it to check it but if you want yo can do it.

I've listened to the rest of the clip and now agree with you to a further point, since it keeps most of the foreground figures.
I'll also wonder aloud if the original TOD version is Williams' arrangement since it could have been Alexander Courage, who was so good at this stuff and I once thought I could hear a bit of him in it. I recall asking in a thread if anyone knew who is credited, but I remember getting no answers.
(That said, I don't know Williams' style is for this type of writing, since I haven't heard much of his dance style.)

I check it out for you - hold on one moment.
I have now checked with the HANDWRITTEN manuscripts cues.
1m1 - HIGHLIFE IN HONG KONG (6 measure) - Composed by Williams, Orchestrations by Herbert W.Spencer.
1m2 - ANYTHING GOES parts 1 + 2 - Arrangment by Williams, Orchestrations by Herbert W. Spencer
1m3 - ANYTHING play-off (seems to be the end of the song) - Arrangement by Williams, Orchestrations by Alex Courage
ONCE IN A VIAL by Cole Porter is also there - as a source - the credits are Arrangement by Williams, Orchestrations by Alex Courage.

I have a hunch "Once in a Vial" is an in-joke/made-up title for another "source" arrangement of "Anything Goes." I don't know of a Cole Porter song called "Once in a Vial" or "Once in a While." Is there one? My guess is that the "vial" being referred to is the one pictured below . . .
. . . the one containing the antidote! . . . To what?
"The poison you just drank, Dr. Jones!"
What is the melody on that "Once in a Vial" sheet, Marcato?
What is the melody on that "Once in a Vial" sheet, Marcato?
actually - as i just discovered - ONCE IN A VIAL consist of two parts
1m6 - Williams 1m6a - Cole Porter
It does say more - 1m6a has a note that it should start on bar 38 of 1m6 - when looking at bar 38 of 1m6 there is a note that indicate that 1m6a begins here and yet the 1m6 sheet continues.
It must be kind of source in the background while the underscore music still plays.
actually quite funny as some of the underscore also plays some of the same melody-lines from 1m6a during that.
It been a time since i have seen the film so i can only assume that it could be ANYTHING GOES that is played in the background as an instrumental.

Well, I recently heard one of the cues from VALLEY OF THE DOLLS that sounded enough like the "Anything Goes" arrangement that I'm beyond convinced.
Darned if I can remember what it was.... I wrote it here somewhere.....
I haven't heard enough OTHER arrangements of Anything Goes to say if they all sound like that. But that definitely sounded like Temple of Doom. Especially the instrumental bit at the end.
I do remember I had a friend in college who played organ at a pizza place and when he played Anything Goes he played Temple of Doom and it was distinctive enough that someone commented on it.
In the past speilberg has filmed two pretty good musical numbers -Anything Goes, of course and the competition dance4 at the USO in 1941. ; He's always wanted tomake a full musical and now he has - a remake of West Side Story. I can't wait to see what this is like, supposedly opening on dec. 10.
