Three Little Words background

Three Little Words

The lighthearted and loose adaptation of the story behind the renowned Tin Pan Alley songwriting duo, Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby.

Bert Kalmar, a talented song-and-dance man, is forced to pivot to lyricism after an injury derails his stage career. He teams up with composer Harry Ruby, and their collaboration yields a hit song. Ruby introduces Kalmar to his former partner Jessie Brown, whom Kalmar marries. The duo helps Ruby avoid marrying the wrong women, but ultimately, Ruby's actions cause a backer to withdraw from one of Kalmar's plays, leading to a rift in their partnership.
