It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals.
In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 600. To celebrate and share this musical love, here is my weekly feature about musicals.
This week’s musical:

Frank Borzage

Leopold Goronoff (Dorn) is a world famous maestro and concert pianist. He meets Myra Hassman (McLeod), the daughter of his former colleague, Frederick Hassman (Bressart) who is hopeful to become a pianist. Leopold takes Myra on as his protégé, and she travels the world with him and his mother (Ouspenskaya), learning and participating in concerts. Myra falls in love with Leopold, which is unrequited, and she goes home after Leopold ruins her debut performance at Carnegie Hall. She marries farmer George Sampter (Carter), but George always wonders if she’s still in love with Leopold.
