Official release, but horrible print: too dark to see what's going on.

Skipped this in '52 despite the film title being a song title, because the title song is the only song in the Soundtracks, and this is not tagged as music/al. But saw this on Tommy Morton's filmography, and took another look at the poster, then at the songs in the AFI catalog, which has 3 more songs. But they didn't jump out at me; they might just be background, sung by an offscreen quartet at best.

Although TM (playing DW's son) does dance with Helene Stanley to the title song in a vaudeville setting, it's only the one number (ch8). So I have to concur this is not a musical.

Amazon reviewers are very sentimental about this film. I don't understand why. It strikes me as just another multi-generation telling of family+history+progress, this one including the Spanish-American War, WWI, Chicago's St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and barely mentioning WWII.
