Till the Clouds Roll By (1946)

A big fat star-studded tribute to composer Jerome Kern. Though Robert Walker does a commendable job of portraying Kern, he is overshadowed by the guest stars.
The best parts come from Frank Sinatra singing 'Old Man River' and Judy Garland playing Marilyn Miller.
Too glizty with not enough substance.
