I'll Get By is an updated remake of the 1940 20th Century-Fox musical Tin Pan Alley. William
Lundigan and Dennis Day play William Spencer and Freddie Lee respectively, successful
song publishers who make hits out of such numbers as "I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo", "Deep in
the Heart of Texas", "You Make Me Feel So Young", "There Will Never Be Another You", and
other favorites (the rights to all of these songs were conveniently held by 20th Century-Fox).
The partnership has some hard times, especially during the feud between ASCAP and the
radio networks, when only public-domain songs like "I Dream of Jeannie" were permitted to
be broadcast. Still, Spencer and Lee remain pals throughout, while the boys' romances
likewise weather the years. Steve Allen makes a rare film appearance as a wisecracking
disc jockey (what a stretch!) while Harry James, Jeanne Crain, Reginald Gardiner, Victor
Mature and Dan Dailey show up in uncredited cameos.
