A Song Is Born (1948)
Posted in 1948
Gangster’s moll Honey Swanson goes into hiding when her boyfriend is under investigation by the police. Where better to hide than a musical research institute staffed entirely by lonely bachelors? She gets more than she bargained for when the head of the institute Professor Hobart Frisbee starts to fall for her.
While there is a decent plot and Danny Kaye does a good job, the best parts are the music scenes with Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Louis Armstrong, Tommy Dorsey and many others. It is a great collection of popular artists of the 40’s and earlier.
There are surprises in the plot, especially if you don’t recognize some of the actors until they perform.
Danny Kaye’s form of humor is not fully appreciated now, but in his time he drew a large following. This movie is a good example of his artistry. His best movie was probably “Hans Christian Anderson.” I watched it as a kid and I can still remember the song “Beautiful, Beautiful Copenhagen.”
