"Music In My Heart" was a vehicle for popular singer Tony Martin with Rita Hayworth thrown in in one for good measure. While she had been in movies since the mid thirties, Hayworth was still being developed by Columbia Pictures with whom she had recently signed. They are also given an "A" list of supporting actors to help out.
Robert Gregory (Martin) is about to be deported to some unknown country. Before he leaves he is given a chance to sing the leading role in a Broadway production. After the show he hops into a cab and heads for the pier where a ship is waiting to take him to God knows where. On the way his taxi collides with another carrying, you guessed it, the lovely Patricia O'Malley (Hayworth). It seems that she too was on her way to the same location to get married. They both arrive late and a warrant is issued for Robert's arrest.
The two go to Patricia's home which is housed with a small restaurant run by Sascha (George Tobias). Patricia's young sister Mary (Edith Fellows) thinks that Robert is just right for her older sister. Accordian playing Luigi (George Humbert) is late with the rent as usual. Patricia's intended husband, millionaire Charles Gardner (Alan Mowbray) did not sail off with the ship as thought.
Incredibly, Robert and Patricia fall in love overnight and become engaged. Gardner's valet Griggs (Eric Blore concocts a scheme where he gets his employer's newspaper to print a one copy edition of the paper showing Robert as being married with three children. Patricia sees the paper and returns to Gardner with the intention of marrying him. Of course this will never happen and Gardner sees that she is still in love with Robert...awwwwww. Edith Fellows practically steals the picture as the scheming little sister.
Any way Robert somehow manages to appear on a radio program with the massive Andre Kostelanitz orchestra and sing a couple of songs and...............................................................................
Martin gets all of the attention here, singing a number of songs. He never really made it in the movies as an "A" list star. Rita gets to do a little dance around the kitchen but does not get to sing. She would soon be dancing with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly in future movies and the rest as they say...is history.
