(Blu-ray, Twilight Time)

Period musical set in the 1890s with country boy Victor Mature's sappy songs leading to fame and fortune in New York City. He gets lots of help from singer Rita Hayworth, and their rocky romance is the other main plot contrivance. Fairly decent atmosphere as these things go, and of course it all looks splendid in Technicolor.
