Hi, Trish. Yes, absolutely I wish she and Rory Calhoun had some real love scenes. They were wonderful together with "Song." And, like you, I wished while watching "Mountain," that he had been her co-star. Interestingly, although I think the two movies were only a year or so apart, Rory did look a lot younger in "Mountain," don't you think?
Yes Gloria, Rory Calhoun definitely looked more mature in With a Song in My Heart. Who can forget his face when he is in audience watching Susan emoting the title song. What a movie, one of her many all-time greats. I know it's a cliche but ... they don't make them like that any more!
Trish: And the music! They don't write them like that any more, either.
This was always my favorite Hayward movie. I still watch it. The production numbers are great, especially the title song segment. I can't even imagine that many violinists on one set!
