Words and Music (1948)
Loflied voor Larry Hart (1895-1943), gezien door de fictieve ogen van zijn songwritingpartner, Richard Rodgers (1902-1979): van hun eerste ontmoeting, via magere jaren en hun doorbraak, tot hun successen op Broadway, Londen en Hollywood. We zien de vruchten van de samenwerking tussen Hart en Rodgers - uitgebreid geënsceneerde nummers uit hun toneelstukken, bezoeken van personages aan nachtclubs en geïmproviseerde optredens op feestjes. We zien ook Larry's verspreide benadering van het leven, zijn mislukte liefde met Peggy McNeil, zijn ongeluk en Richards succesvolle vrijage van Dorothy Feiner.
