Smilin' Through was filmed in gorgeous Technicolor and fine musical numbers supplement the 1941 music-filled melodrama directed by Frank Borzage. Smilin' Through centers on an orphaned girl (MacDonald) who falls in love with a handsome stranger (Raymond), only to find their romance threatened by a tragic connection between Raymond's father and MacDonald's late aunt. Brian Aherne also stars in the musical. Songs include the title tune, "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes," and the iconic song "Land of Hope and Glory," which was written by Sir Edward Elgar, and is known the world over as "Pomp and Circumstance," most often played at graduation ceremonies around the world.
