I just happened to watch this on TCM Channel today and I loved it. The movie features Danny Thomas as Gus Kahn the lyricist and Doris Day as his wife. I’m a huge fan of black and white movies and musicals in general so I tuned in.
“In Chicago in 1908, aspiring lyricist Gus Kahn begs music company clerk Grace LeBoy to read some lyrics he has written. Although she brusquely dismisses him, he finally persuades her to look at them, and she advises him that the trick to writing a good lyric is to remember that most popular songs give people a way to say “I love you.”

Opening Credits and character introduction
Gus Kahn Song Medley - I love Doris Day’s voice!
It Had To Be You - One of my favorites scores in the movie.
Makin’ Whopee - A funny take on married life
Final Credits (I Wish I Had A Girl) - This part made me tear up!
Ah, they don’t make movies like they used to.
I’m inlove with this film, the story behind it and the music it surrounds itself with.
It also reminds me of someone with so much passion for playing music.
Ahhh couldn’t you just drown yourself into jazz? I love it!
“To be honest? Maynila is really, really ugly, rundown and filthy compared to other metropolitan areas. BUT it is my pile of dirt and I still love it.”
Very well said. MANILA is HOME :D
