Musical comedy reigns supreme in “By the Light of the Silvery Moon,” where Doris Day and Gordon MacRae play a small-town Indiana couple resuming their relationship after his return from World War I. The title song was just one of many musical numbers written by Gus Edwards and Max Steiner. The comedic script was penned by Booth Tarkington, adapted from one of his “Penrod” stories.
The supporting cast supplementing the efforts of the winsome pair, Day and MacRae, include such familiar faces as Billy Gray, Leon Ames, Rosemary DeCamp, Mary Wickes, Russell Arms, Maria Palmer, Howard Wendell, and Walter Flannery. Warner Bros. Pictures assigned William Jacobs to produce and David Butler (“April in Paris” 1952) to direct the very watchable “By the Light of the Silvery Moon.”
