Crawford stars as musical comedy luminary Jenny Stewart, who has been hardened by the worst life has to offer. Romance enters her Iife in the form of her new piano accompanist, blinded war-veteran Tye Graham (Michael Wilding). The fact that Graham refuses to kowtow to the temperamentaI Jenny's demands, coupIed with the adversarial behavior of Graham's seeing-eye dog, makes the pianist alI the more attractive to the lonely songstress. Torch Song is a favorite of bad-movie buffs and femaIe impersonators the worId over: HighIights include Crawford's blackface musical number, and the now-cIassic scene in which she simuIates blindness to better understand the taciturn Graham. Director Charles WaIters, a former choreographer, appears as Crawford's two-left-feet dancing partner in the opening scenes. ...Torch Song (1953) |
