Night Song (1947)
Dana Andrews is famous for his film noirs, but he had more of a range than looking good in a tilted hat while solving a murder mystery. In Night Song, he plays a blind piano player who’s angry at the world. He plays in a nightclub, and when poor little rich girl Merle Oberon takes notice of him, he doesn’t take kindly to her. He thinks she’s just taking an interest in a “charity of the week” and he doesn’t want pity. What’s Merle to do? Dana’s a handsome man, and he’s talented, too!
Unfortunately, she does something really bad. This is a drama, folks, and sometimes in dramas, characters make decisions that make the audience cringe. Merle leaves Dana alone for a bit, long enough for him to forget about her, then gets friend Hoagy Carmichael to arrange a new introduction. This time, she isn’t a wealthy woman looking to support him: she’s a poor, recently blinded woman trying to adjust to her new dark world. Do you think anything might go wrong with that situation?
I would definitely recommend this movie if you like Dana or Merle, old romances, or good music. Leith Stevens earned a Hot Toasty Rag nomination for his lovely and unusual piano score. This is a great melodrama to watch on a rainy afternoon.
