Danny Kaye fine in a typical Hollywood bio. Some great music and cameos by real jazz musicians. Tuesday Weld as the daughter!

MCT:February 16, 2008WONDERFUL ol' classic that is the true story of band leader/coronet player Red Nichols who halts his career while at the top, when his only child is striken with polio - and his ultimate return to music many years later. Memorable performances and musical big band jazz numbers with a half dozen by Louie Armstrong himself. Danny Kaye had such a lovely voice. This title song so charmed me it's on my iPod now right between the Damnwells and Dave Brubeck & it has lyrics to live by.

Not a typical Danny Kaye character, but a beautiful story of a family's struggles. And yes, Kaye still gets in a few laughs.

MCT:September 12, 2007Anyone who is a real music lover should love this film. Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye, I didnt picture it working but it was done beautifully. Recommended for all. This is my favorite Danny Kaye movie so far.

One of the best Danny Kaye movies I have seen him done. A very touching story on how a man went for his dreams, and gave them up so then he can be there for his daughter, incase he would not have a second chance.
Louis Armstrong and Kaye both play the trumpit so well, I had to close my eyes and just enjoy the music. He still had his funny wits about him throughout the entire movie. If I could ever find the soundtrack, I would buy it within a heart beat! -

Danny Kayes portrayal of Red Nochols was fabulous, and the Music even more superb, with Louie Armstrong et all.
