"Words and Music" (1948) is a tribute to lyricist Larry Hart (1895-1943), told through a fictionalized account from the perspective of his songwriting partner, Richard Rodgers (1902-1979). The film chronicles their partnership from its inception, the challenges and setbacks they faced, their eventual successes on Broadway, in London, and Hollywood, and the personal struggles that shaped their collaboration. Audiences are treated to lavishly staged musical numbers from Rodgers and Hart’s productions, scenes set in night clubs, and spontaneous performances at gatherings. The story also delves into Larry Hart’s tumultuous personal life, his failed love affair with Peggy McNeil, his emotional struggles, and contrasts this with Richard Rodgers’ happiness with Dorothy Feiner.
