Question
I believe this was a black and white film.  It takes place in a small costal town.  A young girl who believed her father dead was actually in prison and returns home when he gets out.  The girl has a beautiful singing voice and it seems that her father was also a musician of some kind.  There was a group of harmonica players in the movie as well. I remember them playing down at the waterfront. I thought they were the harmonicats but I can find the name of this movie any where.  It was a good movie and I would love to find it somewhere to purchase.

Answer
Hi Geri,

I'm pretty sure the movie you're asking about is the 1942 film, "Always in My Heart", with Walter Houston, Kay Francis, Gloria Warren (as the daughter),.......and Borrah Minevitch and his Harmonica Rascals.
