In "Because of Him", Deanna Durbin plays Kim Walker, a waitress and aspiring actress whose only stage experience has been in high school productions. She idolizes famous actor John Sheridan (Laughton in a delightfully hammy role) and sees all of his plays over and over. When he stops at her restaurant en route to an out-of-town fishing trip, Kim tricks him into signing what he thinks is an autograph for a fan, but is actually the bottom of a glowing recommendation letter for a wonderful new actress – Miss Kim Walker.
Armed with the letter of introduction signed by Sheridan, Kim tries to pass herself off as an experienced actress and even succeeds in winning the coveted role. That’s when the real problems begin!

Light, witty and bubbling with fun, "Because of Him" includes Deanna Durbin singing 'Lover' and 'Goodbye' as well as performing a truly outstanding version of 'Danny Boy'.
