CAST REVIEWS Review by Barbara Buoncristiano (posted on 2-Aug-2007) This is the story of Jane Froman, famed singer and WWII entertainer whose life and career were almost ended when her plane crashed en route to entertain troops in Europe for the USO. She survived the crash, fell in love with and married the co-pilot who saved her life, and underwent dozens of operations. She returned to Europe two years after the crash to begin the job she had started, on crutches and in wheelchair, entertaining the troops. The movie is notable for the splendid performance by Susan Hayward, playing the lead role and for Thelma Ritter as a wise-cracking nurse who keeps the singer from giving up. Hayward and Ritter were nominated for Oscars. It has a wonderful soundtrack sung by Froman, which won an Oscar for the music. Inspiring story with great music.
