Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn order to avoid the inevitable unhappy ending (Grace Moore died in an airplane crash in Copenhagen in January 1947), WB chose to end the story nearly 20 years earlier, which those who knew her, and her fans who still fondly remembered and loved her, felt was a cop-out. At the time of her death, she had most recently gained renewed popularity entertaining the troops around the world during World War II on behalf of the USO.
- GoofsThe poster for Grace's soloist debut states the date as Saturday, November 11th, 1918 but the newspaper article back home says it was a Monday. The newspaper was correct.
Featured review
One Star Salutes Another
This seems to be fairly accurate as a biopic. certainly, the sequence where Grace Moore's vocal trauma was dealt with appeared to follow the events and treatment described in You're Only Human Once, Moore's autobiography.
1953 was a year in which two American singers starred in filmed tributes to stars of earlier times: Patrice Munsel played the title role in the British production of Melba, and Kathryn Grayson made a convincing and entertaining Grace Moore for Warners.
So This Is Love is a film that many people may find enjoyable, and seems to have been a worthy attempt by both the star and the studio to pay their sincere respects to Grace Moore, herself an outstanding figure in stage and film work. Hopefully it may soon be available on DVD or whatever the new formats may be.
