Subj: Anybody heard of "Walking the Dog" aka "Promenade"

I have heard a brilliant clarinet piece a couple times on the radio
called with "Walking the Dog" or "Promenade". I did some research and
it seems that Gershwin wrote it for the Fred and Ginger film called
"Shall we Dance". It accompanies a scene where they are "walking their
dog" (not surprising) on the deck of an ocean liner.

Has anyone seen the sheet music for this? None of the catalogues I can
get my hands on has it listed. The Sydney Conservatorium has the
complete score for the film on their catalogue but some thoughtful
soul has misplaced it.

I've been looking out for it for a couple of years and now I'm getting
desperate!
