Tyrone Power stars in this "must-see" (TV Guide) film as a free thinking
classical musician who wants the world to dance to a different beat.
Set in the
early 1900s this extravaganza of music, story, and romance follows the highs and
lows in the life of Roger Grant, a high-brow-born San Franciscan who changes his
name to Alexander and conducts a band with a whole new sound-Swing! And just as
Grant meets with musical successes and failures, he smolders and is occasionally
scorched by Stella Kirby ( Alice Faye), his lead singer.
Also featuring the
delightful Don Ameche as Grant’s romantic competitor, a wonderfully comic Jack
Haley and then newcomer Ethel Merman, this musical treasure is a perfect
addition to any collection of film classics.
