Deep in My Heart is a 1954 MGM biographical musical film about the life of composer Sigmund Romberg. Leonard Spigelglass adapted the film from Elliott Arnold's 1949 biography of the same name. Stanley Donen directed and Eugene Loring choreographed. José Ferrer played Romberg, with support from Helen Traubel as a fictional character and Merle Oberon as Dorothy Donnelly.
The film primarily consists of a series of cameo turns by nearly every significant singer or dancer on the MGM lot at the time, including Cyd Charisse, Rosemary Clooney, Vic Damone, Howard Keel, Gene Kelly and his brother Fred Kelly (their only on-screen appearance together), Tony Martin, Ann Miller, James Mitchell, Jane Powell, and the ballerina Tamara Toumanova. Robert Easton and Russ Tamblyn both make uncredited appearances.
