About Melody Makers No. 1: Sammy Fain
The first in a series of shorts highlighting songwriters of the era. This one features Sammy Fain, supported by Evelyn Hoey and The Eton Boys, singing songs he wrote, including "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me", "Was That the Human Thing to Do" and "Let a Smile Be Your Unbrella." Follow-up shorts in the series featured songwriters Benny Davis and Cliff Friend.
Directed by Neil E. McGuire, Melody Makers No. 1: Sammy Fain leans on a strong ensemble — Sammy Fain, Norman Brokenshire, Evelyn Hoey — 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 screen titles of 1932.
