Just like Till the Clouds Roll By, this is a fictional biography of the song writing team of Rodgers & Hart. the musical numbers are worth the rental
When this film was made.They could not say that Lorenz Hart---Mickey Rooney's character was gay. so they made in a remorseful drunk.
Tom Drake was a very limp Richard Rodgers.
Odd note is the scene with Mickey & Judy Garland (she played herself & the song they sang was written many many years earlier, granted most people would catch that, BUT movie buffs sure would.
I was 20 at the time.
The ending of this film, you will seem made up by Hollywood writers. Sorry to disappoint you,. I verified this right after seeing film by going to the microfisch at the New York Daily News. I was very surprised to find that what seemed like a corn ball Hollywood ending was nearly 90% true.
as unbelievable as it looks on screen, it is accurate. For those who have not seen this, I will not spoil it for you
as always
