Yes, it's correct, but I wouldn't say that type of phrasing is particularly common. Examples:
- As big a threat to the environment as the production of electricity is, humans would have a hard time living without it
- As nice a person as she is, she's a little annoying
- As smart a person as he is, he's not so good at social interaction
- As expensive a house as they have, they travel so much that they rarely live in it
"As beautiful a song as the movie has" is synonymous to "Even though the movie has such a beautiful song," just as "As nice a person as she is" is the same as "Even though she's such a nice person..."
