think the movie you're thinking of is Broadway Melody of 1936, although it's not Broadway producer Robert Taylor who has 'nobody' Eleanor Powell pretending to be a French singing star, but newspaper man Jack Benny.
Yes, thank you! I can't believe I forgot Eleanor Powell!

edit: I've been trying to think of a film where a B'way producer has a 'nobody' pretend to be a French singing star, but I can't remember who was in it...anybody know? (the category made me think of it...)

Well I thought of Knotts on The Andy Griffith Show but in one episode Barney was said to have a nice singing voice. And despite his occasional on-the-job blunders, he was still a competent lawman or else Andy would have had to fire him.
Actually, there were 2 episodes that dealt with Barney's lack of musical skill, trying to join the choir. In the first, someone sings for him off stage, and in the second it's discovered that Gomer has quite a singing voice.

I just watched an oddity of sorts...a Kraft Music Hall from 67 hosted by,...Woody Allen. I wouldn't associate the two, even in this time frame, but he did sketch comedy as a Shirley Temple-type child star, and a take-off on Bonnie and Clyde...and talked 60s politics with William F. Buckley (?). sort of an interesting little time capsule, complete with mini skirt dilemma. If you want to see it, here's a link (Uncle Earl's site) https://www.solie.org/alibrary/KraftMusicHall_WoodyAllenLooksat1967.html
