The Broken Melody
1938, English. Directed by Ken G. Hall.
John Ainsworth helps win a rowing race for Sydney University against Melbourne University. While celebrating at a nightclub, he demonstrates his skill with the violin with one of his original compositions.

John's sheep farmer father – who is disdainful of culture and wants John to marry a rich girl – is furious and disowns his son.
