Words and Music (1948)

An all-star cast celebrates the words and music of Lorenz Hart and Richard Rogers in this loosely based biopic.

Richard Rogers (Tom Drake) is in need of a lyracist and finds Lorenz Hart (Mickey Rooney) to be witty, yet unreliable as a partner though they complement each other. The film follows the duo through the narration of Drake as Hart through the death of Lorenz Hart.
