Movie Description
This daring musical biography of composer Sigmund Romberg, whose music graced scores of stage shows and a dozen films before his death in 1951, features compositions by Romberg himself and sparkles with the talent of dancers such as Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, and Ann Miller. Howard Keel and Jane Powell (who teamed up memorably the same year with director Stanley Donen in SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS) and Rosemary Clooney add their voices to the tale, as do other famous singers, while José Ferrer plays the part of Romberg. Romberg moved to New York City in 1909 and became a conductor in a restaurant orchestra, then was hired by Jacob Shubert to be his staff composer, writing about 40 scores for musical shows. The operettas THE STUDENT PRINCE and THE DESERT SONG made Romberg's name.
Though DEEP IN MY HEART is a fine tribute to a marvelous man of music, the film is known more for its cast thick with stars of singing and dancing--and for being the only film in which the Kelly brothers, Gene and Fred, dance together.
