It was a great mix of song and dance, humor and heartbreak.
It's based on Jack Donahue's "Letters of a Hoofer to his Ma," and it shows the relationship of Donahue with his "mudder" before he became a star. The confessions of "Mud" to Father Dennis contained various careers she'd told people that her son was pursuing...since they were only in her imagination.
One of the things I liked most about it was the laudable job they did of portraying sin in such a way that it isn't the least bit attractive.
