The great Don Ameche stars in this fictionalized life of Stephen Foster, a songwriter from Pittsburgh who falls in love with the South and comes up with American classics like "Oh, Susanna," "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Old Black Joe," "Old Folks at Home," and "Beautiful Dreamer." Everybody should know these songs, like 'em or not. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
