An updated remake of Fox’s 1940 musical Tin Pan Alley, the film follows song publishers William Spencer (William Lundigan) and Freddie Lee (Dennis Day) as they turn tunes such as “I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo,” “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” and “You Make Me Feel So Young” into hits—songs whose rights Fox owned. Their partnership is tested during the ASCAP‑radio feud, forcing them to rely on public‑domain numbers like “I Dream of Jeannie.”
