Quotes:
« Clancy: I'm here to tell the cockeyed world… stage history was made that night. To be perfectly frank, none of us knew what to expect. Here was a girl with a 35 pound cast on her leg… who's have to be carried on and off the stage 22 times a performance… making her first public appearance since the accident. The big question on all our minds was… would the audience take her this way? More important still, could she stand the gaff?

« Jane Froman: I understood you were looking for a hot singer?
»
« Don Ross: You're a very nice looking young lady. I thoroughly approve of both your face and contour. For all I know you may even have a good voice. Shall I go on?

Plots:
A talented singer’s musical career begins to soar.
After landing a job singing on the radio, Jane Froman marries musical accompanist Don Ross. Under Don’s management, she rises to stardom and is invited to perform for the troops during World War II. En route, her plane goes down, leaving her with serious leg injuries. While on the mend, she begins a romance with John Burn, a wounded military pilot. She intends to return to singing, but with two men in her heart, life is ever more complicated.
Jane Froman, an aspiring songstress, lands a job in radio with help from pianist Don Ross, whom she later marries. Jane’s popularity soars, and she leaves on a European tour, but her plane crashes in Lisbon and she is partially crippled. Unable to walk without crutches, Jane nevertheless goes on to entertain the Allied troops in World War II.
