I cracked up seeing Sinatra singing... Now correct me if I'm wrong, but did anyone else noticed that he was loaded? Lol.. Cocaine or heroin is my bet! The eyes never lie! 38 years of working with at risk kids n families... He was high....
Why aren't more people likeing this...don't they know an "Classic" when they see one...not many of today's young people do.....I'm the exception....i'm 24 & evrybody says i hace av old soul...cuz i love evryhting having to do w/ anything old Movies and Music....I do still love today's movies & music....it's just there will never be anyhting like this ever again....today's stuff just doesn't do it justice :)
Somewhere there is a reel from about 1917 (w/ sound), of an excerpt from the stage musical number (which was like Phantom of today success-wise), "Till the Clouds Roll By" performed by Anna Wheaton and James Harrod---It is exquisite perfection!! It was televised many years ago on some documentary show and was so memorable!! I wonder where it is now?
The studio's "BIG" musical of 1946 (as if "The Ziegfeld Follies" weren't enough that year), an Arthur Freed "special" released that December. Supposedly a biography of Jerome Kern, his life is presented as pure "Hollywood gloss" [and most of it pure fiction]. The real Kern died in November 1945, as production began, so we never find out exactly what happened to "him" at the end. It's the music, however, that made this movie a success, so enjoy!
Love watching these old movies. Enjoyed this would emensely!

This movie came out in 1946, not 1940. Fix the infobox. By the way, great movie.
