Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

With a Song in My Heart (1952) Director: Walter Lang Watched: 6/25/18 Rating: 5/10 {Clue: A selected biography of this music, radio, and television star who was involved in production and offers her voice for vocals.} Fairly entertaining- especially Ritter's performance, Remarkable voice- but aside from a few highlights, all her songs sound the same! Original narrative style: voice-overs by the two men in her life (Ross & Burns) and her best friend and nurse (Clancy), Maudlin and sugar-coated (especially her mantle as Mrs. USO!) as could be expected for a human interest story, A testament to the impossibility of marriages where wife outshines husband- but what did he expect when he guilted her into marriage despite her unambiguous misgivings? Needs more character depth and the singing performances to not take half the running time to feel less like a dramatized documentary. Acrostic is a form of poetry where the first letters in each line, paragraph, or word are doubly used to spell a name, phrase, or word. The word "acrostic" comes from the Greek words "akros" (outermost) and "stichos" (line of verse). Read the appropriate letters in the poem vertically to reveal the extra message, called the "acrostich"! #Acrostic #PoemReview #Disability #GoldenGlobesBestPicture #Musical

With a Song in My Heart is a biographical musical, which didn't contain enough plot or drama for me.Of what it did contain beyond the musicals, I liked. It just never really went anywhere, it would of been nice to see Jane's experience with the troops outside of performing, just day to day. Both romances are just brushed over and contain little substance, we never see Jane having a good time with either of these guys. The troops reactions to her singing is too ridiculous for me, stupid grins on faces and singing along, other than the initial song at the club with the paratrooper, which I liked. Susan Hayward was good, I just wanted more than songs.

This was one of Fox's highest grossers, and, for Fox, a really good musical. Susan Hayward was never more beautiful, and the story was basically an accurate biography of Jane Froman. An on-set mishap occurred during the title song, and was noticed by all in attendance but rather than re-shoot this lavish number, it was decided to let it stay in the film because no one in the audience would notice it. They were right. No one saw it then. However, as Richard Allan lifts Susan Hayward off the floor, an overhead camera sees her left breast slip out of the low-cut gown, then drop back in. On a DVD, it will, I'm sure, be even more noticeable.Mishap notwithstanding, this is a musical full of standards from the thirties and forties, sung to perfection by Jane Froman herself, and giving Miss Hayward a visually electrifying number in a red dress against a yellow-gold sunburst. WOW!

"With a Song in My Heart" (1952) finds director Walter Lang at the helm.Famous singer Jane Froman is asked by the USO to entertain the troops during WWII. On her way to join the tour her plane crashes in the waters off Lisbon, Portugal. Jane, along with other passengers and crew, lives but her legs are badly injured. It looks like her tour of duty is over before it even starts. But, don't count Jane out yet! Don Ross is Jane's husband. He started the new, young singer off on her career. Next we have Clancy who becomes Jane's nurse and right-hand woman. She will be there to nurse and encourage Jane back to health. Clancy will, also, firmly discourage her from feeling sorry for herself.John Burn comes on the scene as the plane's injured pilot. He gets to know Jane at the Lisbon hospital they're in together. Of course, we wonder, will they fall for each other? (I wondered what Don would think if they did.) After several operations Jane decides to take a break. It's time to start her part of the USO tour. (And take a break from doctors and hospitals.) This isn't going to be easy but Clancy will be there to keep the ball rolling and give the needed orders. From here on we learn about USO entertainers. Things that happened to them: Jeeps stuck in mud. Soldiers waylaid by Clancy to get their jeep out of the mud. How Jane strengthened wounded soldiers and by overcoming her own problems to entertain them. What courage she showed on the USO Tours and during subsequent leg surgeries she would have to endure.And, from beginning to end, we get to watch Susan Hayward do a dandy job of being Jane as Susan lip-syncs to the songs with the voice of Jane Froman. These recordings were made for the movie soundtrack.Is this biographical film factual? No! But it's hard to find actual, factual, filmed biographies. Is it worth watching? Yes. If for no other reason than to see Susan Hayward and hear Jane Froman sing. I enjoyed this movie mainly because of the acting and music. Then we have Thelma Ritter who made every movie she was in special. This cast includes: Susan Hayward as Jane Froman; Rory Calhoun as John Burn; David Wayne as Don Ross; Thelma Ritter as Clancy; Robert Wagner as the GI paratrooper; Helen Westcott as Jennifer March; Una Merkel as Sister Marie.
