Night Song (1947)
4/10
Symphony for the Devil
2 December 2020
Classy San Francisco socialite Merle Oberon falls in love with blind pianist Dana Andrews, even though he is bitter, cruel, and demeaning, especially to her. But his unpublished concerto piece is overwhelming to her ears, so she creates a strange and unlikely plot to both get his talents out into the world and seduce him. Quality support roles by Hoagie Carmichael and Ethel Barrymore make this watchable, and Oberon and Andrews do their best, but like the grandiose and overwrought concerto, the film can't find any real street cred. The Hoagie songs are far better!
