On This Day...When You're In Love (1937)

 On this day back in 1937, Cary Grant released his 25th full length film, When You're In Love.  The British title was For You Alone.

Summary:

Artist Jimmy Hudson (Cary Grant) is stuck in Mexico unable to pay his hotel bill. Meanwhile, Louise Fuller (Grace Moore), an opera singer, is stuck in the same town unable to return to the US due to visa problems. 

The solution: Hudson agrees to marry Fuller, in return for which she pays him $2,000, which allows her to return to New York to resume her opera career. Hudson and Fuller continue to meet and trade barbs, but it's clear they are falling for each other. A highlight is when Fuller joins a 5 piece band to sing "Minnie the Moocher", the Cab Calloway signature number. True love appears to be thwarted by Fuller's career obligations and divorce papers are exchanged. But in the end love is triumphant!

"The picture is a worthy successor to the long line of Grace Moore triumphs. Her rendition of "Minnie the Moocher" is alone worth the price of admission." - Scholastic Magazine.

Did You Know?

Louise Brooks was originally cast in a supporting role. But after several spats with Columbia Pictures chief  Harry Cohn, she was abruptly fired and most of her scenes deleted. Brooks can be glimpsed (uncredited) doing a specialty turn as a ballet dancer in one of the musical numbers.

Grace Moore's scene singing "Minnie the Moocher" (with severely laundered lyrics) was included in preview showings, but was left out of the film in the original theatrical and later television release; the scene is now included in Sony's film restoration.

Filmed in 1936, released in 1937, this was Grace Moore's second to last Hollywood film.
