Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe final Harvest Moon number was shot in Technicolor while the rest of the film was black/white. This was because of shortages of material needed for color stock due to the war. Studios used their limited color stock for their top films. 16mm television prints were in B&W and the Technicolor sequence was not restored until the 1980s.
- GoofsNora Bayes and Jack Norworth debuted "Shine On, Harvest Moon" in Florenz Ziegfeld's Follies of 1908, yet the theater marquee reads Ziegfeld Revue - Follies Of 1907.
- Quotes
[Nora has just kissed Jack]
Jack Norworth: You didn't have to do that.
Nora Bayes: I know. That's why I did it.

Featured review
Ann Sheridan and Dennis Morgan, as singing duo Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth, are wonderful portraying the Broadway stars who had to struggle just to perform together.
The beautiful Ann Sheridan does a fine job portraying a women who loves her partner but is willing to make a sacrifice for what she believes will help his career.
Kudos to the production crew for a visually enjoyable movie. Add in a few good musical numbers and you have a fun, uplifting movie with an occasional bittersweet moment thrown in for good measure.
And, with all due respect to Lynn Martin, who did the vocals for Ann Sheridan, I personally would like to have heard Ann Sheridan sing in this movie. Perhaps a special edition will surface one day for Shine On, Harvest Moon.
