Wednesday, May 29 - Let's Make Music

Let's Make Music (1941)

Newton High music teacher Malvina Adams (Risdon) is asked to retire (no, she's not asked to retire, just to make her classes more relevant) since attendance in her classes keeps dropping each year. Trying to prove she's still got it, Adams composes a school fight song which finds its way into the hands of bandleader Bob Crosby (playing himself) who turns it into an overnight hit. Though her niece Abby (Rogers) protests, Malvina travels to New York to perform her song with Bob's band, while her niece falls for the bandleader. The newness of the song fades quickly though, and Malvina tries to write one more hit song before finally giving up and returning to Newton.
