This was Grace Moore's film debut. If you really want to watch her get A Night of Love. This is just passable. It's a biography of the singer Jenny Lind whose recordings didn't survive. She falls in love with a man who goes blind. Apparently this was made up for the movie. Jenny wed her accompanist. Still if you like Grace Moore it's worth watching. She sings well in this. By the way I love the whole genre of operatic singers in the movies in the 30's and 40's. It was a fad that featured such stars as Lily Pons, Deanna Durbin, and Jane Powell. I think it was cool while it lasted.
