Musical movie from 1940s starring Ava Gardner?
Hi. A few weeks back I was watching Turner Classic Movies and watched a bit of a musical (I'm guessing from the 40s though it was in technicolour) with I'm sure Ava Gardner and a man with very dark hair and very dark eyebrows. The plot is basically Ava Gardner's character is famous singer/actress and she steals a song that a country-bumpkin stage performer used. He discovers it and becomes the writer for all the songs in her upcoming plays and a romance blossoms. I can't find it listed on Ava Gardner's Filmography. Perhaps I've got the wrong actress, but I really don't think so. What I really want is the name of the actor. Can anyone help?

You might be thinking of My Gal Sal (1942) starring Rita Hayworth and Victor Mature. Victor Mature had very dark hair and thick, dark eyebrows, as seen here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001514/?ref_=tt_cl_t2
Storyline:
Chronicles the early life of gay nineties-era songwriter Paul Dresser as he outgrows his job as carnival entertainer and moves up into New York society, writing one hit song after another. Despite his egotistical behavior, he manages to woo and win Sally Elliott, one of the more popular songstresses of the day.

The only movie that Ava Gardner made that was a musical was "Show Boat" (1951), her singing voice was dubbed for it.
Your description doesn't sound like Show Boat so you must have the wrong actress/singer.
You description kind of sounds like "The Jazz Singer". If it is then it's probably the 1952 version.
