One of the very best of the musical biopics (of the De Sylva/Henderson/Brown songwriting team in the jazz age). Ray Henderson joins Buddy De Sylva and Lew Brown to form a successful 1920s musical show writing team. They soon have several hits on Broadway but De Sylva's personal ambition leads to friction as the other two increasingly feel left out of things.
