In Chicago during the 1930s Depression, sheet-music salesman Arthur Parker is trying to sell his products, but it’s not easy to convince unwilling music-store owners to buy them. Although he’s already married to the somewhat drab Joan, when he meets schoolteacher Eileen in a music store, he falls in love with her.
The original source Brit mini-series could get to be overly repetitive, but squashing it down to theatrical film size did not turn out to be such a good idea. Dennis Potter’s *other* (and considerably better) Brit mini-series, “The Singing Detective” encountered a somewhat different but still quite inferior theatrical feature adaptation. (Some things work much better in the mini-series format.) In both cases, this was despite the best efforts of a game and much more recognizable cast in the remakes.
