This was one of Fox's highest grossers, and, for Fox, a really good musical. Susan Hayward was never more beautiful, and the story was basically an accurate biography of Jane Froman.
An on-set mishap occurred during the title song, and was noticed by all in attendance but rather than re-shoot this lavish number, it was decided to let it stay in the film because no one in the audience would notice it. They were right. No one saw it then. However, as Richard Allan lifts Susan Hayward off the floor, an overhead camera sees her left breast slip out of the low-cut gown, then drop back in. On a DVD, it will, I'm sure, be even more noticeable.
Mishap notwithstanding, this is a musical full of standards from the thirties and forties, sung to perfection by Jane Froman herself, and giving Miss Hayward a visually electrifying number in a red dress against a yellow-gold sunburst. WOW!
