The Best Things in Life Are Free

Directed by Michael Curtiz
John O'Hara's flaming portrait of the jazz age... and the guys and gals who made it Zing!

Ray Henderson joins Buddy De Sylva and Lew Brown to form a successful 1920s musical show writing team. They soon have several hits on Broadway but De Sylva's personal ambition leads to friction as the other two increasingly feel left out of things.
