Like the play from which it derived, the film tells of the early struggles of composer Edvard Grieg and his attempts to develop an authentic Norwegian national music. It stars Toralv Maurstad as Grieg and features an international cast including Florence Henderson, Christina Schollin, Robert Morley, Harry Secombe, Oskar Homolka, Edward G. Robinson and Frank Porretta (as Rikard Nordraak). Filmed in Super Panavision 70 by Davis Boulton and presented in single-camera Cinerama in some countries, it was an attempt to capitalise on the success of The Sound of Music.

Arthur Tate alcançou fama, riqueza e respeitabilidade rapidamente desde o início como um policial ingênuo. Sua ascensão também foi devida a 3 mulheres: a costureira Violet Lawson, Lily, a Baronesa von Lukenberg e o produtor de cinema Marigold Marado. Sua ascensão também foi devido à Sra. Tate, que sempre parecia ter uma informação extra que a faria sugerir ao povo que seu filho Arthur recebesse um cargo onde pudesse fazer mais bem. Talvez a Sra. Tate tivesse um plano maior para si mesma.

Em sua casa, Bill conta a seus sobrinhos como começou sua carreira como bailarino. Assim, retorna aos anos nos quais licenciou-se como soldado da banda de seu regimento, no final da Primeira Guerra, de seus trabalhos humildes como garçom, e seus primeiros êxitos em números musicais. Filme integramente interpretado por atores negros, rodado durante a Segunda Guerra. A leve trama serve como uma perfeita armação para integrar luxuosos números musicais, como o do bolo, o número africano com sapateados sobre os tambores com guerreiros zulus; brilha especialmente o último, que dá título ao filme. Há um magnífico sentido de humor, que interveem famosos personagens do mundo do espetáculo interpretando a si mesmos, como Cab Calloway. Foi o último filme de Bill Robinson. Números de sapateados inimagináveis. Obra-prima musical inigualável.

In his last film assignment, portly Walter Connolly fills the title role (in more ways than one) in The Great Victor Herbert. Very little of Herbert's life story is incorporated in the screenplay (a closing title actually apologizes for the film's paucity of cold hard facts); instead, the writers allow the famed composer's works to speak for themselves. In the tradition of one of his own operettas, Herbert spends most of his time patching up the shaky marriage between tenor John Ramsey (Allan Jones) and Louise Hall (Mary Martin). Many of Herbert's most famous compositions are well in evidence, including "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life", "March of the Toys" and "Kiss Me Again", the latter performed con brio by teenaged coloratura Susanna Foster. Evidently, the producers were able to secure the film rights for the Herbert songs, but not for the stage productions in which they appeared, which may explain such bizarre interpolations as having a song from Naughty Marietta.

Two attractive jewel thieves, one female (Olympe Bradna), one male (Gene Raymond) escape together after their latest escapade and hide out in the home of an aged concert pianist (Lewis Stone). To cover their tracks and keep the old man from turning them in, the thieves pretend to arrange his comeback concert. The artifice becomes reality, the pianist makes a triumphant return, and the thieves reform. This 1938 film is not a remake of 1932's Stolen Heaven, which wove an entirely different story about a suicide pact.
