Should've been titled With a Song in My Heart at the Opera


Boy the suits at MGM were obviously still kicking themselves over turning down the Jane Froman story 3 years later.

How shamelessly they lifted scenes with nearly no changes from Froman's story. That game enthusiastic entertaining of the troops & gung ho to do more sappiness & the 1st attempt at a comeback while staged in a sitting position, almost falling just before the curtain opens as her husband tells someone (in the case her brother) "Leave her alone, she's alright"

In fact Lawrence traveled 50,000 miles entertaining troops in the South Pacific and Europe during the war.
