This is a good movie, based on the life of Jack Norworth, song writer and performer who wrote Shine On Harvest Moon. It stars Ann Sheridan and Dennis Morgan, excellent actors of the 1940's, with great supporting roles by Jack Carson, Marie Wilson, and S.Z. Sakall (a very good comedic performer in many musicals and comedies of those days). The movie is a period piece about early 20th century life, but there is a final message at the end of the movie that says, "Buy War Bonds," the only reference to the war. Another interesting fact about the movie is that it is in black-and-white, until the final musical number, when it switches to color. The B&W portion plays well with the time period portrayed by the movie, while the color ending indicates the transition of the story to more modern times, with the final stage act being performed as part of the Ziegfeld Follies. I would watch this movie again.
