This first of five teamings of velvet-voiced Irene Dunne and composer Jerome Kern is a lushly tuneful Gay Nineties musical about the trials of Adeline Schmidt (Dunne), a singer who could rise from headlining at her father's Hoboken beer garden to starring on Broadway -- if she can straighten out her love life. Will she choose the dashing Spanish-American war hero backing her show (Louis Calhern) or the brash tunesmith (Donald Woods) who's all work and no romance? Add to those a spiteful diva (Winifred Shaw) threatening to lower the curtain via war espionage and show sabotage. More vital than the lightweight plot is the lighter-than-air score of this screen version of Show Boat collaborators Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's 1929 Broadway show, including songs Dunne hits out of the park: \"Here Am I,\" \"Lonely Feet,\" \"We Were So Young,\" the ravishing \"Why Was I Born?\" and \"Don't Ever Leave Me.\" As directed by Mervyn LeRoy and lovingly orchestrated by Ray Heindorf, Sweet Adeline won't ever leave you.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Dvd","offer_id":45913959104703,"sku":"8ee324a9-dab9-4d2c-a15d-c9d0c9b6a160","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/466e0b8978cc889494602e3ea03afa65.jpg?v=1785053160","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/sweet-adeline","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
