The Jane Froman Story.
"Susan Hayward is absolutely sensational" (L.A. Examiner) in this "enchanting" (Citizen-News) musical retelling of the extraordinary life of 1940s songstress Jane Froman. Packed with unforgettable tunes and an incredible cast, this heartwarming story of personal tragedy and triumphant recovery isn't just "vibrant, exciting and enormously entertaining" (The Hollywood Reporter), it's "a soul-stirring experience" (Citizen-News)! Known for a voice with the power to move millions and a heart to match, Jane Froman (Hayward) is one of America's most beloved singers. But when an overseas flight crashes off the coast of Lisbon, Portugal, she barely survives the wreck. Ripped from the spotlight into a series of life-threatening operations, hope seems a distant memory for Froman as she sets out on a journey of recovery that's more than heroic; it's what music is made of!

"Froman provides Hayward's singing voice, to glorious effect...a satisfying film on all levels.  TV Guide
"...[Hayward] deftly handles the dramatic phases.  Variety

Editor's Note
This film stars Susan Hayward as 1930s singer Jane Froman. The film follows Froman's real-life rise from radio station staff singer to fame, and also explores events in her personal life along the way.

Professional Reviews

Variety 7 of 10
The story of one of show business' courageous figures - Jane Froman - comes to the screen. Froman, a songbird who started her rise to fame in 1936 as a penny-ante singer of radio commercials, does her own chirping on 23 songs in this film version of her career...In the first half, the pattern is the rather pat one of an unknown coming into prominence. The next 60 minutes, however, have the ring of sincere dramatics from the time Froman was nearly fatally injured in the Lisbon plane crash of February 23 1943, while enroute to entertain servicemen overseas. Her fight back to life and only partial recovery of the use of her limbs, the birth of a new love, the resumption of a career to pay the enormous medical bills, come over on the screen as heartening drama...While not entirely at home in the dancing accompaniment to some of the production numbers [staged by Billy Daniel], Susan Hayward punches over the straight vocal-simulation and deftly handles the dramatic phases.
