"Look for a Star" is a song written by Tony Hatch (published under the pseudonym of "Mark Anthony") and performed by Garry Mills for the 1960 UK horror movie Circus of Horrors. It reached #7 on the UK charts, #5 in New Zealand and #26 on the US charts. When the movie was released in the U.S. there were several versions of the song quickly recorded, the main one being by Buzz Cason under the pseudonym, Garry Miles (in order to capitalize on the success of Mills' UK original). Snuff Garrett produced the song and came up with the pseudonym. The strategy worked and the Garry Miles version reached #16 on the U.S. pop chart in 1960.
