In his last film assignment, portly Walter Connolly fills the title role (in more ways than one) in The Great Victor Herbert. Very little of Herbert's life story is incorporated in the screenplay (a closing title actually apologizes for the film's paucity of cold hard facts); instead, the writers allow the famed composer's works to speak for themselves.

Fictional events of the life of composer Victor Herbert, where he ends up being over-shadowed by clichéd Hollywood love story between Allan Jones & Mary Martin who performers his already (by 1943) out-of-fashioned songs. Got 3 Oscar nominations, because the Oscars love these biographical releases, but it honestly didn't deserve any of them. It's a very forgettable experience, and is probable only worth it if you know who Susanna Foster is, and want to see her screen debut.
