Tuesday, June 23 - Shine on Harvest Moon

Shine on Harvest Moon (1944)

Biographical movie about the early 20th century Broadway stars Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth.

In 1905, singer Nora Bayes (Ann Sheridan) impresses songwriter and performer Jack Norworth (Dennis Morgan) at a cabaret run by Dan Costello. Jack offers to get Nora an audition for vaudeville, unaware of Dan's feelings for her. After Nora rejects Dan's proposal, he purposely breaks up the audition, but Jack finds Nora another performing job. Eventually Jack and Nora team up successfully, but Dan continues to interfere any way that he can -- including trying to steal Jack's best tune (I must have missed this part).
