Nace una canción (1948)
Basada en "Bola de fuego" y en el cuento escrito por Billy Wilder y Thomas Monroe. Siete profesores, encabezados por Hobart Frisbee (Danny Kaye), vienen trabajando en una enciclopedia de la música, cuando, al escuchar la versión moderna que, de una pieza de música clásica, hace uno de los limpiavidrios afroamericanos, van a darse cuenta de que muchos ritmos modernos no han sido tomados en cuenta. Lo que sigue será una gran fiesta de jazz donde estarán Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman... y un puñado de grandes talentos. Remake de Bola de fuego del mismo director.
Directora: Howard Hawks
