9 songs in the Soundtrack: 3 for FS, 4 for DD, 2 duets. Good songs, sung at a piano.
Same studio as A Star is Born ('54), which makes the attempted sacrificial suicide by FS a little repetitive and odd. This is a remake of Four Daughters (1938), which I didn't watch (I wasn't searching online then?) so I don't know if the suicide attempt is in the source novel. J.Garfield played the FS part. All 3 Lane sisters were present; I'd guess Priscilla had the DD part.
Not sure that this romance, based on DD's desire to rescue FS from himself, has a good foundation. But if any personality type can make it work, the DD persona might.
So the story is edgy, no comedy here. But the songs are good, and the singers are excellent.
