Quiz
Tchaikovsky scolds Ted for having used one of his melodies and then says to the Official Recorder to let him "know when that Freddy Martin checks in here (Heaven)". Freddy Martin's biggest hit was "Tonight We Love" in 1941, which heavily borrowed from Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto Number 1 in B-flat Minor. It was such a big hit that Martin began to incorporate melodies from the classics in follow-up songs.

Citazioni
Ted Barry: Do you have any boyfriends up here? Or, could we step outside some night and cut up a cloud?
Joy: Oh, no. I couldn't do that. You see, I'm an angel.

There's A lot Better Out There

Heavenly Music (1943)

** (out of 4)

This two-reel short from MGM actually won an Oscar but the end result, to me, didn't deserve the honor. Bandleader Ted Barry dies and gets the honor of going to Heaven where some famous musicians are waiting. Once there the musician has to go in front of some of the greatest musicians in history, including Beethoven, to decide if he belongs among them. This is a decent short but I'm still scratching my head as to why this was voted Best Short Subject (Two-Reel). The music is decent at best. The performances decent at best. Even the characters are only decent at best. The best moments are some rather campy ones with Beethoven but these aren't enough to make it a complete winner. Barry's voice wasn't overly impressive to me nor was his acting skills.
