1934 Nominee

100 Words
Mary doesn’t win the singing contest, which is robbery with a voice like hers that inspires the Italian locals upon her arrival. She takes a job as a singing waitress and captures the ears of Monteverdi – part teacher, part torturous, all lunatic. Forced for years to carry out all the nonsensical instructions of her teacher, Mary leads on poor Bill in an effort to manipulate the maestro. Though love comes on questionably fast, the vocals are sensational. Did you know that idiopathic laryngitis can be cured with a pin? That’s just one way Monteverdi proves he’s a pain in the…pin.
