The Stars Are Singing is a 1953 Paramount Pictures musical starring Rosemary Clooney, Anna Maria Alberghetti, and Lauritz Melchior.

In the story, a 15-year-old Polish girl (played by Alberghetti) attempts to enter the U.S. illegally, setting off a major search by immigration officials. She is befriended by a struggling group of New York performers, who try to get approval for her to remain in the country.

Clooney performs her hit song "Come On-a My House" and Danish tenor Lauritz Melchior sings "Vesti la giubba" from Leoncavallo's opera, Pagliacci, in this Technicolor production.[1]

The film cost $1,264,337[2] and earned an estimated $1.6 million at the North American box office in 1953.[3]
