With a Song in My Heart

Good story and Susan Hayward gives another great performance.

Hayward's strong performance saves it.

Froman sings the most vanilla -- I mean vanilla vanilla -- versions of songs that make them so boring you can't stand them. Luckily, other artists with more soul come along to sing these songs and make them popular. Her rendition of "Blue Moon" is really tragic, but by the end of the decade, the Marcels will have re-made the song and taken it to #1.

Her story is inspiring and the songs are absolutely fabulous! I loved this movie!

I went in with the heavy load on my shoulder of "LET'S SEE HOW THIS MOVIE WON OVER SINGIN' IN THE RAIN FOR BEST MUSICAL SCORE IN 1952!" (which it did) and was all ready to laugh at it because of it, and despite it's obviousness in some places, overt sentimality and tissue demanding scenes (cue hospital scenes!) and Susan Hayward's uh, broad lip syncing, this was actually enjoyable! The songs are all from the World War II songbook which may have helped get bonus points. But you have to admit the movie's heroine, who I have absolutely never heard of (nor does it really make me wish I did) has a bit of a feel good story, and the movie celebrates that and just ends with the most rah rah ending ever. Also, best prelude to a plane crash ever. LOL

Susan Hayward was nominated for an Oscar for her performance as radio sweetheart Jane Froman (who actually voice-dubbed for Hayward); the screenplay is a bit mushy, but the musical scenes are terrific.

A tad bit overly sentimental. Susan Hayward cannot be blamed and makes the most of a contrived story.

A nice story with nice songs about the rise of a nice star. We need more nice. I enjoy nice.

Great story. Well acted. Horrible ending. Can't have everything I guess.

Susan Hayward gives an Oscar-worthy performance as singer Jane Froman who triumphed over tragedy.
