Hitchcock said that this film was ""the lowest ebb of my career," and that he only directed it because he had no other film projects that year. This is the only musical Hitchcock would ever direct.A very simple plot. A musically-talented son of a famous composer is forced by his father to abandon music and work in a bakery where he falls in love. A rich and beautiful contessa hires the son to write a waltz for her poetry, which makes his girlfriend jealous. The son manages to pull off a masterpiece, impress his father and stay loyal to his girlfriend. All of this is set to music. Overall it's a basic humorous musical, though nothing special about it. Being not a great lover of musicals, and as there was little, if any, discernible Hitchcockian characteristics to the film, I was not overly fond of the movie.
