    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Tchaikovsky scolds Ted for having used one of his melodies and then says to the Official Recorder to let him "know when that Freddy Martin checks in here (Heaven)". Freddy Martin's biggest hit was "Tonight We Love" in 1941, which heavily borrowed from Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto Number 1 in B-flat Minor. It was such a big hit that Martin began to incorporate melodies from the classics in follow-up songs.
    • Quotes

      Ted Barry: Do you have any boyfriends up here? Or, could we step outside some night and cut up a cloud?

      Joy: Oh, no. I couldn't do that. You see, I'm an angel.

    Worth watching for the music and Eric Blore

    This short won the Oscar for 2-reelers and its understandable. The concept is a trifle cute but the music is worth the price of admission and Eric Blore (familiar to anyone who's watched just about any Astaire and Rogers film) does a marvelous job here. Entertaining, if lightweight and well-executed for the most part. Turner Classic Movies runs this occasionally as filler and runs it in March as part of their "31 Days of Oscar" festival. Recommended.
