Song Of The Open Road (1944)
Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy, Bonita Granville
Child film star Jane Powell, fed up with her every move being stage managed by her stage mother, runs away and joins the U.S. Crop Corps, a small army of young folks staying at youth hostels and picking crops while adult farmworkers are at war. Totally clueless about the real world, befuddled Jane is embroiled in teen-romance complications while Mother frantically searches. Will her stardom help or hinder her new friends? W.C. Fields does a short act with Bergen and McCarthy.

Jane Powell’s first musical(1944,15 years old)is astonishing. Later on, MGM’s top singing star, but this movie has a charm of it’s own. The same charisma, beauty and of course: the same fantastic voice!! The movie is a bit about herself, actually, and she did get her artist name, Jane Powell, here. Wonderful music scores and plenty of typical Janie humor: -this movie is a must, if you are a fan of one of the worlds greatest sopranos.
Enjoy!
