Page "Stephen Foster" Paragraph 31

Three Hollywood movies have been made of Foster's life: Harmony Lane ( 1935 ) with Douglass Montgomery, Swanee River ( 1939 ) with Don Ameche, and I Dream of Jeanie ( 1952 ), with Bill Shirley.

The 1939 production was one of Twentieth Century Fox's more ambitious efforts, filmed in Technicolor ; the other two were low-budget affairs made by B-movie studios.
