✎ Suggest a correctionThe film is an adaptation of a play riffed on the real-life relationship between songwriter Irving Berlin and Long Island socialite Ellin Mackay. Danny is notably Jewish, and among the issues the movie raises is his temptation to assimilate into the larger culture. Unlike the fickle debutante in the film, Mackay stayed with Berlin, and their marriage lasted over sixty years.
