They Shall Have Music (1939)

In the pulsing heart of New York City, a street-smart boy stumbles upon tickets to a concert by the legendary violinist, Heifetz. The stirring performance awakens a dormant passion for the violin within him, sparking a journey that takes him far away from his humble beginnings. Fleeing his former life, he finds sanctuary at an unlikely place - a music school for underprivileged children, a vibrant symphony of youthful dreams, operated by the gentle Professor Lawson and his young disciples, Peter and Ann. Taken under Lawson's wing, the boy immerses himself in the world of music, his days filled with violin lessons and nights spent in the comforting solitude of the school's basement. But this sanctuary is threatened when the school faces financial ruin, with the ominous shadow of foreclosure looming over them by the ruthlessly practical Flower and associates. Undeterred, the resilient students, spearheaded by the charismatic Frankie, rally to save their beloved school. Embarking on a quest to raise funds, they cross paths with none other than Heifetz himself. Through a series of twists, turns, and heartwarming adventures that traverse well-trodden cinematic terrains, they manage to persuade Heifetz to sponsor their school. "They Shall Have Music" is not only a testament to the transformative power of music but also a celebration of youthful determination, painting a moving portrait of dreams triumphing over adversity. As the rhythmic pulse of the city beats on, so does the heart of this music school, a symphony of hope and perseverance resonating in every chord.
