Here is My Heart (1934)
Bing Crosby play J. Paul Jones, an ultra rich radio crooner; who has a goal to fulfill a childhood list of things he wanted to do when he made a million dollars.
One of the things he wanted to do, was to present the U.S Naval Academy with two antique pistols, Catherine the Great of Russia gave to John Paul Jones.
He owns one of the pistols, but the other pistol is owned by a Russian Princess Alexandra (Kitty Carlisle) who is living in Monte Carlo with her family; and she refuses to sell it to someone who doesn't come from royalty.
Paul goes to Monte Carlo to try to convince her to sell it to him; and while he's at the hotel he meets a girl in the elevator, who ignores him; and of course he falls in love with her.
Unbeknownst to him she is the Princess Alexandra.
Due to a misunderstanding Paul is mistaken for the waiter who was suppose to serve Princess Alexandra and her family.
When he sees that Princess Alexandra is the girl he met in the elevator he decides to continue posing as a waiter.
The rest of the movie is about Paul buying the hotel, so he can continue posing as a waiter;
and Paul trying to convince the Princess Alexandra to like him.
Bing Crosby and Marian Mansfield sing a great version of "Love is Just Around the Corner."
Bing sings along along with a record of himself singing "June in January."
Bing and Kitty Carlisle sing a lovely version of "With Every Breath I Take."
I love this movie it's a lot of fun, and the singing is really good.
