Comment
A wealthy socialte with an interest in classical music is taken by friends to music bar where she meets a blind piano player. She falls in love with him, wins his trust by pretending to be poor and blind whilst encouraging him to complete his orchesteral work by using her money to get him to win a prize for it and have treatment for his blindness.The plot is thin in parts, but this is romance. Merle Oberon is good in the lead but Ethel Barrymore steal many of her scenes as her aunt who reluctantly supports her plan and Hoagy Carmichael brings a lightness to the film as Dana Andrew's friend.
