The Stars Are Singing

The screenplay concerns a 15-year-old Polish girl (played by Alberghetti) who attempts to enter the U.S. illegally, setting off a major search by immigration officials. She is befriended by a struggling group of New York performers, who try to get approval for her to remain in the country.

Clooney performs her hit song "Come On-a My House" and Danish tenor Lauritz Melchior sings "Vesti la giubba" from Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci in this Technicolor production.[1]

The film cost $1,264,337[2] and earned an estimated $1.6 million at the North American box office in 1953.[3]

The film's world premier was in Clooney's home town, Maysville, Kentucky, at the Russell Theatre.
