Night Song, 1947



How can a bitter blind man see a woman for who she really is?

Cathy Mallory, played by Merle Oberon, fakes being blind in order to develop a relationship with blind pianist Dan Evans, played by Dana Andrews. Dan, who has a chip on his shoulder, won’t allow her into his small circle of friends at first. She has to be patient and persistent to help him open up to her.

Ethel Barrymore makes a memorable appearance in this film, as do Hoagy Carmichael and Arthur Rubinstein. Eugene Ormandy and the New York Philharmonic also make an appearance.
