==Reception== According to MGM records, the film cost $2,367,000 to produce, and made $1,801,000 in the US and Canada and $2,227,000 overseas.<ref name="Mannix"/> In a contemporary review of the film in ''[[The New York Times]]'', critic [[Bosley Crowther]] described it as "tender and moving," "a stirring drama, plus a handsome and melodious one," and "a tale of personal triumph and recovery that is rendered the more eloquent and taut by the ample production of gorgeous music."<ref>{{Cite news|last=Crowther|first=Bosley|date=1955-05-06|title=Screen: The Defeat of Polio as Personal Drama; ' Interrupted Melody' Tells Singer's Story|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1955/05/06/archives/screen-the-defeat-of-polio-as-personal-drama-interrupted-melody.html|access-date=2023-12-11|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Film critic Derek Winnert wrote in 2013 that the film "is still an extremely enjoyable old-style heart-lifter and spirit-raiser. It is Parker’s show all the way but Glenn Ford is on top form too as the husband," and noted that "Eileen Farrell performs Parker’s vocals in eight beautiful arias – from Verdi, Puccini, Richard Wagner and Bizet’s Carmen. Amusingly, Farrell [also] plays a singing student of Mme Gilly (Ann Codee) who cannot seem to hit the right notes."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Winnert |first1=Derek |title=Interrupted Melody (1955) |url=https://www.derekwinnert.com/interrupted-melody-classic-film-review-494/ |website=Derek Winnert |date=10 December 2013 |access-date=2023-12-11}}</ref>
