About Melody for Three
Dr. Christian takes an interest in a young boy, a violin prodigy, whose mother is a divorced music teacher. His interest isn't just in the boy's music career--he believes it would be best for the boy to have his parents back together, and sets out to do just that.
Directed by Erle C. Kenton, Melody for Three leans on a strong ensemble — Jean Hersholt, Fay Wray, Walter Woolf King — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1941.
