On this day in 1948, M-G-M released WORDS AND MUSIC. Directed by the great NORMAN TAUROG, this musical biopic about the song writing team of RICHARD RODGERS and LORENZ HART is completely fictionalized and completely enjoyable. MICKEY ROONEY and TOM DRAKE headline as the song writing duo and along the way the cast is joined by JUDY GARLAND, JUNE ALLYSON, PERRY COMO, LENA HORNE, GENE KELLY, ANN SOUTHERN and CYD CHARISSE. Forget about plot and just go along for the ride.
