"With a Song in My Heart" (1952)

If you like 40s music, especially 40s female solo singers, then this is a "must." A musical biography of music singer Jane Froman. I'd not ever heard of this musical, and I didn't recognize the singer's name (for shame she's not mentioned more!), but this contralto is a sound that is surely a recognized part of the 40s. Susan Hayward's dresses (who played her) in the movie are lovely. And near the end, I had to stop the movie TWICE (sniff, sniff) for absolutely touching, beautiful moments. USO singer during WWII; sang "injured". From Clinton, Missouri (how have I never heard of her before?).
