Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn order to avoid the inevitable unhappy ending (Grace Moore died in an airplane crash in Copenhagen in January 1947), WB chose to end the story nearly 20 years earlier, which those who knew her, and her fans who still fondly remembered and loved her, felt was a cop-out. At the time of her death, she had most recently gained renewed popularity entertaining the troops around the world during World War II on behalf of the USO.
- GoofsThe poster for Grace's soloist debut states the date as Saturday, November 11th, 1918 but the newspaper article back home says it was a Monday. The newspaper was correct.
Featured review
Excellent biographical musical
I saw this film many years ago and would love to see it again. I also wish it were available in DVD. It is the true story of Grace Moore, who was born in Tennessee in 1898. She was a singer of Broadway musicals, an opera star, and a lovely lady Florenz Ziegfeld described as "the most beautiful woman in the world." Tragically, Miss Moore was killed in a plane crash in Copenhagen, Denmark, in January 1947. Also on board was a member of the Danish royal family. In the nearly six decades after her death, Miss Moore's talent lives on in the recordings of her music.
I hope this film will be appreciated by today's young people and that they will learn valuable lessons from it.
