With a Song in My Heart (1952)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Before Susan Hayward made the Lillian Roth biopic I'll Cry Tomorrow, she made the Jane Froman story: With a Song in My Heart. In this one, Jane Froman's voice is used for the songs, which helps for authenticity but doesn't sound very realistic when compared to Susan's low speaking voice. Still, Susan's a fantastic actress, so she pulls off the non-musical scenes of the film very well.Joined by David Wayne, Thelma Ritter, Rory Calhoun, Una Merkel, Robert Wagner, and Helen Westcott, Susan is given another chance to excel in a strong yet vulnerable role. In the film, she falls in love with David Wayne. After they marry and her singing career takes off, WWII breaks out and tragedy threatens her dreams. Will Suzy give up, or will she continue to sing, with a song in her heart? You'll have to watch the movie to find out, and depending on how touching you find the story, you might want to bring your Kleenexes. Personally, I find I'll Cry Tomorrow much more heart wrenching, and I like hearing Suzy's real singing voice! But since Suzy looks absolutely beautiful no matter what movie she's making, it's always a treat.

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.

"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.

I found this film both informative and entertaining. It is the story of the life and trials of Jane Froman. I'm surprised it has never been released on video. I was however under the impression that Jane Froman "dubbed" all of the vocals for the movie. Thanks to the previous comment stating Susan Hayward did her own singing. One interesting thing I heard (probably on a TV documentary or biography) was that this was the only movie of hers that Ms. Hayward allowed her children to see. No doubt that rule lasted only until they were "of age", if not, they missed some really great performances by this star. David Wayne, Rory Calhoun and Thelma Ritter also turned in sterling performances. Watch for a very early appearance by Robert Wagner.
