06/08/2021 I love this film! Eleanor Parker is marvelous as Marjorie Lawrence, a famous opera singer stricken with Polio. Schmaltzy and wonderful!

See more 07/28/2017 Eleanor Parker (voice dubbed by Eileen Farrell) gives a moving, Oscar-nominated performance as opera star Marjorie Lawrence; the story and screenplay won an Oscar.

The flight out of Australia and a very country type of existence to the world of America. It nonetheless doesn't seem to stick with you very long after seeing the film.
