Roberta
Jerome Kern's Queen of Musical Romances!
Directed by William A. Seiter
Produced by RKO Radio Pictures
A charming 1930s musical romance set in Paris, built on dancing, singing, and the gradual partnership between a football player and a fashion house assistant.
Football player John Kent tags along as Huck Haines and the Wabash Indianians travel to an engagement in Paris, only to lose it immediately. John and company visit his aunt, owner of a posh fashion house run by her assistant, Stephanie. There they meet the singer Scharwenka (alias Huck's old friend Lizzie), who gets the band a job. Meanwhile, Madame Roberta passes away and leaves the business to John and he goes into partnership with Stephanie.
