Danny Thomas, much better known for television than movies, is amazing in this role as songwriter Gus Kahn. Doris Day is even more so as his wife. Although he was not as hyped as contemporaries like George Gershwin and Irving Berlin, Kahn wrote the lyrics to many beautiful songs, many of which are exquisitely performed in this film: "Pretty Baby," "The One I Love (Belongs to Somebody Else)," "My Buddy," "It Had to Be You," "Carolina in the Morning," "Makin' Whoopee," "San Francisco," and "I'll See You in My Dreams." Thomas and Day are so genuine, so earnest, so loving, and so symbolic of their times that only the most cynical of cynics could find this movie trite.
