Say It with Music is a 1932 British musical drama film directed by Jack Raymond and starring Jack Payne, Percy Marmont and Evelyn Roberts. It was produced by Herbert Wilcox's British and Dominions Films at Elstree Studios.[1] It takes its title from the 1921 song Say It with Music by Irving Berlin which features in the soundtrack, and was an early example of a string of bandleader-centric films produced by British studios during the decade.[2] It is also notable for providing an early acting role for the then-24-year-old William Hartnell, who decades later would go on to portray the First Doctor on Doctor Who.

Synopsis

A former World War I pilot now working as a top bandleader helps a gifted composer recover from amnesia.
