What happens

Manhattan Love Song is a 1934 American pre-Code romantic comedy drama film directed by Leonard Fields and starring Robert Armstrong, Dixie Lee and Franklin Pangborn. It was produced and distributed by Monogram Pictures. It is based on the 1932 novel of the same title by Cornell Woolrich. It is the first of Woolrich's works to be adapted to the screen, and the only adapted work of his that was not in the crime/film noir genre. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
