Beat the Band
Ann Rogers is a lovely young opera student who would rather croon a mellow swing tune. Handsome Damon Dillingham is her classical voice instructor, although heâs really the former leader of a swell big band, and he needs Annâs tuition money to reunite his group for a nightclub gig that follows appearances by Gene Krupa and his band. Can Ann and Damon reveal their true selves, work through misunderstandings and mixed-up feelings, and find romantic and musical bliss? Swingâs the thing for Frances Langford (beloved by World War II GIs for her performances overseas with Bob Hopeâs USO Tours) as she portrays Ann in Beat the Band. Phillip Terry (The Lost Weekend) plays Damon, Ralph Edwards (TVâs This Is Your Life) provides comedy fun as a scheming band rep and Gene Krupa isnât just on the nightclubâs bill â heâs in the movie with a red-hot âShadow Rhapsodyâ and more.
