[New find] Lena Horne... is highly successful. She is the first woman to appear to advantage in colored-produced films. She has a pretty face, a pleasing personality, and beautiful voice. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

A theatrical producer sacrifices his own career to boost the fortunes of a gifted young performer in this musical gem from 1938. Lena Horne makes her feature film debut as Ethel Andrews, the aspiring singer, and belts out such tunes as I Know You Remember and Dont Let Our Love Song Turn Into A Blues. Also, look for such Depression-era entertainers as Ralph Cooper and the Harlemania Orchestra, the Basin Street Boys, and Rubberneck Holmes!
