This video features the opening scene from the 1955 American comedy film "The Tender Trap", directed by Charles Walters and starring Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, David Wayne, and Celeste Holm.

That was the best-quality upload of this film clip I could find. I have removed the MGM lion intro from the beginning, as it was missing the first split second, which looked and sounded bad, and was also mixed very loud compared to the song that followed. The source video had the volume level set much too low compared to the majority of music videos, so I have fixed that. The source video was also slightly out of sync, with the picture running a bit late compared to the sound, so I have fixed that. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics.
This song was written by Jimmy Van Heusen (music) and Sammy Cahn (lyrics). It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. This version of the song is different than the one released as a single; this one, which is referred to as "(Love Is) The Tender Trap [Main Title]", is arranged by William Beittel, with the orchestra conducted by Jeff Alexander, and only has Sinatra singing during the first half of it, the rest being instrumental. The single version has the orchestra conducted by Nelson Riddle, and apparently we are not told who the arranger is but I presume it's Riddle. According to Wikipedia, the single reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 7 in his native USA. No other territories are mentioned. I have not been able to find information about how it did in other territories, but I do know that it was also released in Italy, Germany, Sweden and New Zealand as these releases are documented on the website Discogs dot com.
I have made an unofficial music video for another version of this song that consists of a portion of this film version edited together with a portion of the single version, and I did this editing/remixing myself. That video consists of the same footage as this one but has a picture of the sheet music for the song at the beginning to accompany the intro. Here is the link:

LYRICS
"(Love Is) The Tender Trap" (Main Title Version)
- Frank Sinatra
(Words by Sammy Cahn, Music by Jimmy Van Heusen)
You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly you're sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then SNAP!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart
Until your heart just goes WHAP!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night
When her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight
And you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now, there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
Boo-lee-yah, boo-dee, boo-dah
Bah-dah boh-dee, boh-dee, boh-dah
