There's a Girl In My Heart (1949)

This is a cute movie, but it is for very specialized tastes. It is a musical based on the Roaring 90's period and the turn of the 20th century. There is a lot of music from that era, a good deal of dancing, and the typically thin plot. But it is well done. The big plus for the movie is Lon Chaney, Jr., who is the comic feature of the story. Chaney was very good at this particular type of role, and is at his best here. Some of the others of note in the cast are Elyse Knox and Irene Ryan. Knox was the daughter of Secretary of the Navy Franklin Knox and the wife of sportscaster Tom Harmon. If you like music from 120 years ago, you will like this movie.
