Larry Kelly (Mark Stevens), a song promoter, has a fortuitous saloon scuffle that leads him to Alfred Breitenbach (S.Z. Sakall), a destitute opera composer. In all the chaos, the two mix up papers, which gives Larry an excuse to visit Alfred's home. There, he becomes smitten with Doris (June Haver), Alfred's daughter. When Larry and Doris realize that Alfred's opera could be a hit with modernization, they receive his reluctant approval to write the music under the pseudonym Fred Fisher.

RICHARD S A wonderful Fox musical, featuring the lovely June Haver and a surprisingly adept Mark Stevens. Great old songs, excellent dancing, as good as it gets for Fox musicals of the forties. A must-see for June Haver fans -- perhaps the best musical talent from the 20th Century Fox lot, greatly underrated for her dancing and singing talents. I originally saw this as a kid and never forgot it -- finally viewed it again on PBS. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
