[1] Edwards wrote the script for this Frankie Laine musical with his mentor, director Richard Quine.

New England schoolteacher Nancy Willows leaves her school and fiancée David Parker to go to New York City for a career as a lyricist.

Her neighbors across the hall are an easy going singer named Jerry Dennis and his hotheaded songwriter roommate Marty Adams who is incapable of writing acceptable lyrics for his songs.

Edwards had previously written several scripts for Quine to direct: Sound Off was a 1952 service comedy starring Mickey Rooney; Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder was an earlier Laine vehicle from the same team; and All Ashore was Quine and Edwards' variation on On the Town teaming Rooney and Dick Haymes.

Their latterday efforts included the early Jack Lemmon films: My Sister Eileen, Operation Mad Ball, and The Notorious Landlady.
