Til the Clouds Roll By (1946) is described by IMDB as a “light bio-pic of American Broadway pioneer Jerome Kern, featuring renditions of the famous songs from his musical plays by contemporary stage artists, including a condensed production of his most famous: ‘Showboat‘ … unable to find immediate success in the U.S., Kern sought recognition abroad. He journeyed to England where his dreams of success became real …”
The film features Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Frank Sinatra, Cyd Charisse, Dinah Shore, Angela Lansbury, and many other stars. The trailer alone (below) is quite the production.
“Til the Clouds Roll By,” featuring June Allyson and Ray McDonald, starts in Db major, shifts to G major for the first dance sequence (0:56), Eb major at 1:49, and finally E major at 2:14.
