Sheet music from the movie:	A lobby card from the film

"Thanks for having info on this movie!!!!! I stumbled across it while looking for info on my great-uncle Herbert Clyde Lewis. He, along with a man named Fredrick Stephani, wrote the "motion picture story" for it and they were the names on the academy nomination. Uncle Herbert also wrote a few novels - one of them was Season's Greetings (Dial Press, 1941), and I think the "It Happened on Fifth Avenue" movie may have been an adaptation of it somehow. I have never seen the movie but I will follow your link and likely order it (bad copy or not). I never met Herbert either - I believe he died before I was born (he was young). He was one of many whose promising careers were interrupted, for better or worse, by the "Hollywood blacklisting" & McCarthy era hearings. Anyway, thanks again for having info on the movie I could not find it anywhere else after hours of searching. Thanks!"

A great friend of mine found the book and gave it to me as a Christmas present. After reading it, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the story is NOT the precursor to It Happened on Fifth Avenue. It was a good read, but was considerably "darker" in tone than the uplifting story of Mr. McKeever and his friends.
