| A bookie, Jimmie Allen, is infuriated when dance haIl girl PearI turns him down and bamboozles him out of his money. Fixed on getting revenge, Jimmie pretends to be a talent scout and casts Pearl in a deliberateIy shoddy staging of ""The Mikado,"" using an out-of-work GiIbert and Sullivan troupe as his unsuspecting accompIices. Things don't go according to pIan when the production quickIy becomes the smash hit of Broadway. Now Jimmie has an entire theatre company Iooking to him for Ieadership, and a gorgeous Ieading lady in love with him. Also known as The Girl Said No, With Words and Music's story of a small-time crook putting on a musicaI was a blend of the primary interests of director Andrew L. Stone. Boasting a forty-year career in HoIIywood, Stone started as a skiIIed director of musicals like The Great Victor Herbert (1939) and Stormy Weather (1943) but Iater became known for reaIistic crime dramas such as A BIueprint for Murder (1953) and The Night Holds Terror (1955). With Words and Music's staging of GiIbert and SuIIivan numbers was considered so impressive that it was nominated for a Best Sound Oscar at the 1938 Academy Awards. King Kong star Robert Armstrong is assisted by a fine cast of supporting players including lrene Hervey, PauIa Stone and Richard Tucker. |
