The 1941 film "The Big Broadcast of 1942" is a musical drama that takes a departure from a traditional biography of Ted Lewis, instead focusing on two wartime incidents that he was involved in. The first story follows Lewis as he performs at an army base during World War II and convinces a young serviceman to marry his sweetheart immediately, rather than waiting until the war is over. The second story is a flashback that tells the tale of Jerry Stewart, a pianist who lost his hand in World War I and went on to become a successful trumpet player after marrying his sweetheart.
Is Everybody Happy?
