What By the Light of the Silvery Moon Is About
The engagement of Marjorie Winfield to Bill Sherman, just home from the First World War, provides the ground for a year in the life of a family in a small Indiana town. The engagement keeps failing to reach a wedding, because misunderstandings, money troubles and the schemes of Marjorie’s young brother keep getting in the way. David Butler’s film is the sequel to On Moonlight Bay, with Rosemary DeCamp, Mary Wickes and Billy Gray returning in the same parts. Irving Elinson and Robert O’Brien wrote the screenplay from Booth Tarkington’s Penrod stories. Doris Day plays Marjorie and Gordon MacRae plays Bill. The film builds postwar small-town life out of nostalgia, and the songs of the period sit inside the story rather than standing apart from it as numbers.
