Irene Dunne (ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM, CIMARRON) stars as Adeline Schmidt, a high-spirited girl who would rather enchant patrons in her father's beer garden in Hoboken than move to to New York and make it big as a singer. But when fate steps in, Adeline stars in her lover's Broadway show and creates a musical sensation for herself. Mervyn LeRoy (LITTLE CAESAR, I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG) directed this song-and-dance picture about life in the gay 1890s, adapted from the stage play of the same name. But the real star of this picture is the soundtrack by Jerome Kern (SHOWBOAT, LADY BE GOOD) and Oscar Hammerstein II (THE KING AND I, THE SOUND OF MUSIC). Songs include "We Were So Very Young," "Out of the Blue," "Why Was I Born," "Don't Ever Leave Me," and "'Twas Not So Long Ago." [More]
