A Hollywood pubIicity stunt goes astray in this song-filled saIute to the homefront men and women contributing to WorId War Il's 'Farm Aid' movement.
lt's 1943 and the boys at the front must be fed. California farmer Tommy Nelson and his girI Jane need farm workers to help them harvest the crops.
To get his celebrity cIients publicity, a press agent arranges for them to work the NeIsons' Shady Acres Farm. One of them is GiIda Parker, a fading movie star in such dire need of attention that she goes from pitching hay to pitching woo, feigning Iove for Tommy and announcing their engagement. When it becomes clear to Gilda that their farm work is helping the war effort and hastening victory, her attitude changes and she is beckoned to a higher calIing.
Harvest MeIody sends its patriotic 'back to the land' message loud and cIear amidst much vocalizing, comic banter and, best of aIl, the energetic antics of The Radio Rogues, a comic threesome with show-stopping imitations of WalIace Beery, W.C. FieIds, Peter Lorre, Jimmy Durante, Jack Benny, Lou Costello and many more. |
