I'll See You in My Dreams
I'll See You in My Dreams is a 1951 musical film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Doris Day and Danny Thomas. It was Warner Bros.' second-highest-grossing film of 1951. Curtiz teamed with Thomas again the following year for a remake of The Jazz Singer.
Plot
Insecure Gus Kahn wanders into the musical publishing house where Grace LeBoy is a talent judge of some influence. She challenges him to write a love song, but she does not expect him to deliver it to her home the same evening. Grace's parents like Kahn, even after his borrowed necktie dips into his soup bowl. Grace quits her job to plug Kahn's songs on her own. Their first song, "I Wish I Had a Girl," is a hit. But after failed follow-ups, Grace cedes the publicity duties to Fred Thompson.
