I intended to watch this 1947 romantic drama to see the talented and most beautiful Jacqueline White in a starring role, but I had to settle seeing Ms. White in a short cameo appearance. The three (3) main stars were Dana Andrews, Hoagy Carmichael, and Merle Oberon and although I wanted to see more of Jacqueline White I was not disappointed with the on screen presence of the aforementioned three stars.

Dan Andrews plays Dan, a blind lyricist and talented pianist who lost his eyesight later on in life, so he does remember how beautiful the world and women were when he had his vision. His best friend is the actor Hoagy Carmichael who plays Chick, a fella who can set his blind buddy straight when he gets into one of his stubborn moods, which seems to occur more often than not.

Dan does not feel sorry for himself since losing his eyesight. Quite to the contrary he despises people who look down upon his blindness as a handicap which is why Dan and Chick are best friends. Into the picture comes a wealthy and beautiful Cathy played by Merle Oberon, who realizes with the assistance of Dan's best friend Chick that having any level of pity on Dan is like putting grease onto a hot fire, so Cathy decides to pretend to be blind so that they appear to have something in common.

I won't spoil the ending for anyone but suffice to say that although sometimes love is blind as they say, love can also conquer peoples fear of the unknown and in this case, love is like a Night Song which makes this film a pleasure to see.

I give the film a satisfying 7 out of 10 IMDb rating having watched the film twice, even if I only got a glimpse of the beautiful Jacqueline White. Well worth seeing, no pun intended.
