Composer biopics were very popular in the 1940s and ‘50s. It all started with “Yankee Doodle Dandy” in 1942, an Academy Award-winning Warner Bros. film about George M. Cohan’s life and career. After that, the other studios clamored to match that movie’s success with their own interpretations of famous songwriters. Hollywood’s best talent appeared in this list of movies, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “Words and Music,” “Till the Clouds Roll By,” “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” “Night and Day,” “Deep in My Heart,” and “Three Little Words.”
