Next I watched the Danny Kaye vehicle A SONG IS BORN, the picture of his which I had never seen. He pretty much abandons the slapstick silliness and novelty songs in this movie, and the music is quite good. Of course, the love plot is typical 40s stuff (gun moll falls out of love with the gangster and in love with nebbish professor), and it's too long for such a simple story, but the music offers adequate compensations.
