Rhythm On The River (Full Frame)

VHS, 92 minutes, UNIVERSAL

Bing Crosby and Mary Martin make a delightful discovery in this tuneful tale of star-crossed melodymakers who step out from the shadows in the hopes of making it big. Basil Rathbone plays Oliver Courtney, a well-known composer of hit songs who is very much in demand by the folks who produce musical shows. But beneath the gloss of a well-polished performance lies the truth about Oliver?s talent ? it?s the work of ghostwriters! Bob Summers (Crosby) writes the tunes and Cherry Lane (Martin) writes the lyrics, only neither knows the other exists and both believe they are collaborating with Oliver. When the two meet at a musical retreat, they discover they have a lot more in common than they ever imagined and decide they?d like to go out on their own together. But the road to fame is rough and they wind up needing help from the one person who has the least interest in making their names known to the world of music ? Oliver. "Rhythm on the River" is full of life, laughter, and love. Songs include ?Only Forever,? ?Ain?t It a Shame About Mame,? ?Moon Over Madison Square,? and ?That?s For Me.?.
