Big Bands and Beautiful Music at the start of the Great Depression
I saw this film as a spiritual, almost religous event. Dan Dailey plays with considerable skill and charm a somewhat successful band leader derailed by the 1929 economic collapse. Jeanne Crain is his much younger and loving wife. Oscar Levant hangs around delivering brilliant piano work and acerbic charm. Underlining the light presentation is a set of core beliefs encompassing hope, hard work, and good old American know how. I love the film and related to it personally and professionally.
The DVD transfer from Fox is quite good.
good remake
The story is very like " The orchastra wives". It was enjoyable. The dvd was good, good picture and sound. I wish there where more movies like this. I cant stand all the swearing and nudity in movies today. Hollywood really put out good movies in the forties and early fifties.
Nice old fashioned romance
This movie is romantic, and it captures that moment in time when men and women respected each other. Sweet story.
