Set in the early 1900's 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, his lead singer. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

I guess I was expecting this film to be something special, but I just didn't find it special at all. It's like I'm watching an uninteresting romance that goes more the way of drama, but there are some funny scenes and a musical number that definitely won't stick in my head. The movie just didn't do much for me.

The particular legend around this film is not very transparent for me. I could accept Tyrone Power, and some European-tinged numbers here and there, but everything else is just plain lemonade. I would have preferred Ethel Merman in a more prominent role and costumes that described the time of the story and not just the time of creation.
