Studio Classics 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. |
