Indeed, these abusive behaviors guise of property rights are serious criminals because they affect the free video-sharing information and constructive and non-commercial purposes as this, in the Internet world. Unfortunately YouTube administrator instead of siding with its users and those who generously as you, upload videos, takes pains to defend minority interests overly bastards. Without this constant is the beginning of the end of the fundamentals generator You Tube

GREAT

[violinthief]

This is one of many videos I have uploaded that has been subjected to a phony copyright claim by "Orchard Music", "INgrooves" and "IODA". It has even been blocked in some countries. This is a public domain recording. Please do not click on any links below the video. This criminal conduct should not be rewarded.

[MYBIGKINDHEART]

Happy Birthday Deanna Durbin and many many more too

[amirtoma]

I wish if I could enjoy watching this particular movie of Deanna,it seems a very interesting story.

[jonmt11]

@amirtoma "First Love" is available in the "Sweetheart Pack" along with other terrific Durbin movies

[ImDavidGurney]

Deanna had the largest fan in the world in the 1940's.She was the female version of Sinatra.

[TheIvyleague7]

what a beautiful voice, and what an uplifting experience listening to her sing, it's like her voice belongs to another sphere and not of this world it is so heavenly, will never tire of this divinely talented lady's recordings

[RonEvane]

Que bella version de este clasico! Tiene una voz que vibra en mi alma!! Mon amour!

[thynaluna]

Her Spanish pronuntation is very poor. I understand her very bad.

[Katyclarinet]

@thynaluna Your English is very poor. I understand you very bad.

[da3is5]

OLE! menuda voz tenía la niña

[lugash4]

this is the real Amapola she sings the intro everybody else sings the chorus only.......a Spanish love song Amapola means poppy.If anybody interested i have ALL the words to this song.........

[blackiemittens]

Funny how the butler looks at her, the way Simon Cowell did Susan Boyle!

[7754349200]

I wish she had also sung it in English

[performingsys]

I always come back to hear the beautiful and remarkably talented Deanna Durbin sing with class and poise most singers now days cannot even fathom. Every time I listen to her my heart melts!

[joeasmythe]

She aged, still had class, but her voice left her..... She still can sing better than any of the modern "talent", and she was a gem of a conservative.............

[satyricon55]

bluejean0701 this number,as u said,is in spanish and a classical one.No exist english version.Deanna Durbin is a very professional singer.Hope you enjoy it.

[237cupcake]

she is sooooo pretty

[bluexxg]

Andres Perello de Segurola her teacher and vocal coach of all her movies love 'Clavelitos' a spanish song of Quinito Valverde to Fornarina in 1910..she sings well Spanish my grand aunthie took lessons with Segurola and meet Deanna many times she is enthousiastic of Wagner Festivals and Operas like Germaine Lubin was

[Bluejeans0701]

I wish Deanna Durbin had recorded this number in English. 

[thynaluna]

¡VIVA LA CULTURA! Italian? This is Spanish! Although I didn't understand very little and I am Spanish. Must be her pronunciation (then of say of Hispanics when we speak or sing in English, we do wrong, but you are worst with Spanish!).

[sintin23]

I think it is Spanish for poppy. Don't quote me on that I asked my grandmother who speaks Spanish.

[peachpecan]

thanks for posting this . I just love this one of hers, but can't sing it around the house. Is it Italian?

[ima90sgirl]

i love her. and im like 14. *sighsss* i wish i had her voice. it would be awsome to just randomly sing and have people stare at me.

[waynebrasler]

There's no doubt Deanna, at not even the age of 18, had superior vocal talent. But she also possessed remarkable poise and a remarkable work ethic. She also possessed common sense. When she was through with the movies, she walked away and never looked back and enjoyed real life. So many stars can't think that far and up with disastrous, sad lives forever chasing fame.

[TOMSLASSIE]

I read on another song's postings that Lisa Kelly of Celtic Women, is our Deanna's

granddaughter.

[violinthief]

@TOMSLASSIE So you choose to spread such completely unfounded rumors to my channel? Nice. I did a bit of research, and it mentions her parents being in show business - amateur theater people in Ireland. Don't you think that, had her grandmother been one of the most famous singers/entertainers in the world, that it just may have made it into her bio?

[TOMSLASSIE]

@violinthief No offense was intended. I tried to remove the posting, but it didn't work.

[MYBIGKINDHEART]

@violinthief sometimes they leave things out as i've found out in other situations and writings up of other stars but what became of Deanna Durbins children?

[ndm707]

She's one of the greatest singer & movie star legend of all time. I love her movies. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DEANNA DURBIN. You will always be remembered for your magnificent performances. God bless you always.

Thanks for sharing this video.

[trustinChrist08]

I love her movies shes such a freakin awesome singer and actor

[hannaaaaaaaaahfish]

Sigh, I'm 17, I wish I could sing like that!

Here's to the most beautiful voice, possible ever! ♥

[PlayWizMe]

Happy Birthday, Deanna! 89 years old today, but forever young and fabulous in her wonderful films. I wish her films were more easily available for the general public to see on television, for she really embodies true talent and accomplishment. Nowadays those traits don't seem to be matter to the general public. I hope you are aware how much YouTube has made your films and singing available to so many people again, and that you continue to provide beauty, enjoyment to those who view them.

[tenorismo]

One of my favorite songs by her.. Amapola is a small red seed

[electrodud]

Jackie Evancho of her time?

[Celticwomanfanpiano]

I absolutely love Deanna Durbin! And this scene inspired me to learn the song! She does wonders with it! 

[1995kro]

amapolaaaaaaaaaa.... :)

[thefantastikmrbone]

This is my favorite Deanna Durbin performance, and believe me it is VERY hard to choose. I love when she sings that high note right in the butlers face.

[kenny63134848]

我聽過 Andrea Bocelli 的演繹, Deanna Durbin 都太美了

[limestoneroad]

She was Winston Churchill's favorite movie star.

[mystarwood]

Deanna was a very sweet lady. . . I am glad to have learned about her through my grandparents. She was a 4th cousin of mine, and I have been told I resemble her in apperance! She was a kind and gentle person, who had a voice like no other. . .

I am proud to see her legend live on, and I hope to help keep it alive!

[TOMSLASSIE]

Look and listen to Deanna singing "Grenada". There is nothing this lady could not sing.. Fabulous!

[KIZERVONZINGER]

I love it!

[DeanaUSA]

does anyone know how her name was pronounced, was she DeAnna or Dee-nuh. My name is Deana so was wondering.

[AntinousIsGod1]

She was a very talented and beautiful woman.

Deanna is right up there in my "Divine Divas" section, right next to Judy. They were both amazing. Deanna, a great opera singer and Judy a great showtunes singer. Deanna is my favourite opera singer ever. We love you Deanna! <3

[AntinousIsGod1]

I just saw her movie "His Butler's Sister" today and was blown away! Deanna is fabulous. Her voice is so magical and pure, I adore it. My favourite song of hers is "Russian Medley". That was a magical moment in the film, you could feel that the people lucky enough to be there with her expressed real joy and amazement at her talent. It's sad she quit acting so early. At least we have 22 brilliant films of hers to rememer her by :)

[JMaldonado64]

Thank you for uploading this beautiful video of a beautiful girl singing a beautiful song. Thank you Deanna and Joseph for letting us enjoy you art and passion!

[gf1001]

Deanna was the golden voice then and now A TOTAL ORIGINAL TALENT we shall never see again. wonderful thanks so much for this posting.

[operalover41]

Thanks Violinthief; 

You have made a lot of people very happy with these lovely videos. I always had a soft spot for Deanna Durbin. Even at fifteen, she had this voice and poise. Incredible.

[blackiemittens]

The movie is darling and audiences are let in on the surprise the cook, butler, maid and her uncle are soon to have. She

was such a charming talent and a fave of my mother's too. 'Rockyljp' my sympathy on the loss of your mom. We're lucky they

exposed us to wonderful movies and beautiful music though, aren't we?

[4CillaV]

I found this song copied and marked as one of the songs my beloved Mom enjoyed....how beautiful...! Thanks for posting!

[eb641]

Great but check out Jennifer Connelley dancing to this song in "Once upon a Time in America"

[rockyljp]

One of my mother's favorites. They are the same age and mom just passed 6 months ago. How right mom was - such a beautiful girl with a magnificient voice. Mom always told me that there was no one more talented and how she just walked away from Hollywood and fame and never looked back. Lots of talent, beauty and integrity. Just like mom.

[blackiemittens]

This movie is very sweet. We're clued in to the surprise the butler, cook, maid and her uncle are in for. My sympathies on the

passing of your mom. Deanna was a fave of my mother's too. We're lucky they exposed us to wonderful movies and beautiful music though, aren't we?

[huitzilapotli]

beautiful...

[ClassicMovieClub]

0.42+0.48+1.05 hahaha! I do so love her movies! Brilliant! I love the fact that everyones al;ways so shocked when she sings - amazing perfomance!

[Halo101st]

17 Years old! Could the young 'ladies' of today take note off this talented girl and perhaps better themselves? No... it would mean they would have to actually work at something...

[helenajesstarzak]

Wow 44 postings!

All I can say good for you and thank you for posting such many videos...

She sang like an angel.

[DerrocheDeAmorPasion]

Oh....I will!!!!!! ....with pleasure! Thank you very much for sharing her and her beautiul voice!

[DerrocheDeAmorPasion]

THIS IS E X C E L L E N C E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing it! I learned something and someone new today, I always heard it by tenors and by Nana Mouskuri. But this is simply an splendid interpretation!

[pistolwhipbob]

Had a crush on her when I was in daipers and have one on her singing now.

[MrPhillips7]

Such a wonderful voice!

Love.

[eddie123e]

She certainly could have become an opera singer but she reached a much bigger audience by not becoming an opera singer!

[Operalover12002]

Deanna Durbin ought to have established her career as an opera singer. She could have competed with Maria Callas.

[supermelomanazo]

¡Increiblemente maravilloso este video con la prodigiosa voz de Deanna Durbin!

amapola es un tema generalmente interpretado por tenores---¡Gracias!

[BufordStone]

What a voice!

[joanbunny]

One of my favourite singers of all time. I collected her records in the 40's - my own favourites being "My Own" and "Estralita". A perfect voice.

[GEF69]

you mean "Estrellita"?

[gf1001]

One voice that stands out no matter how many years go by, I am not old enough to remember in films, her voice is another matter no one could forget her once heard. A great entertainer and so young. cant blame for quitting hollywood she is now 88 and lives in France since her retirement in 1950 GOD BLESS YOU DEANNA.

[benric2000]

Thank you for correcting me...

[benric2000]

Deanna Durbin... another great canadian talent which canadians forgot about... like Judy Garland, Deanna Durbin was a protege... a real stand-out... and both are my favourite female singers of all-time...

[odessa108]

Might as well add my two bits. This movie has one of the great comic lines of all time---When Deanna returns to this household after being away at boarding school for a few years, the "wicked" boy cousin says to her very sarcastically, "Do you still sing?"

[himitsunosallychan]

Thank you for this clip!

I have never seen this movie, but I really like Deanna's singing of this song. (I hate Bocelli's rendition, and honestly think the "three tenors" version with Mehta conducting is silly.) This has become my favorite! I also enjoyed the way the song was arranged. Does anyone happen to know who did it?

デアナ超綺麗、hard to believe she's only 17!

[curtainsxup]

My names Deanna too lol :)

[zwerskij]

"My names Deanna too lol :)" Good for you, dear. Sleep tight.

Valery,Berlin

[bluexxg]

my tribute to Segurola and Deanna ..see in my videos 'frecle face' by Al Bowlly

[jasnalukic]

i was born in the wrong time, i wish i could go back

[fabiandoulton]

I was born in the wrong time too...meaning that people nowadays don't have the time to go slow and work on life's real pleasures

I try and make up for that by playing old beautiful songs on the piano for seniors in nursing homes.

That make it all worthwhile.

[waynebrasler]

When this song comes along in the film it transforms it entirely, like it is just waking up. And it's not a dull film! It's just that voice of hers did miracles!

[grekanda29]

I own a DVD collection of Deana Durbin. This one is great, but my favorite is 'It Started With Eve'. In it, Deana and Robert Cummings made a great screen couple and were hilarious together.

I once watched a documentary on Anne Frank and learned that Deana was one of Anne's favorite singers. Interesting, but not surprising. Most girls (and women) in the '30's and '40's loved and idolized Deana. Too bad there aren't many (if any) singers with her vocal talent on the billboards these days.

[BethGoth15]

Yeah, my nan did as well. And about Anne Frank, there was this BBC drama a few months ago and one of the posters her father gave her was of Deanna. I just burst out laughing!

[leejohn70]

My late father who would be nearly 87 now loved Deanna Durbin and I can understand why a pure talent beautiful and a lovely voice Deanna had it all and it is great to know she is still with us. A true hero.

[belfastsamurai]

What a beauty!

[maureen1938]

So lovely to hear this video again after so many years. She has a beautiful beautiful voice..... she had it all.... her voice, she acted very well and was lovely to look at too. Thanks for posting.

[reeniebabo]

Deanna Durbin was probably one of the best stars Universal Studios ever had. She saved them from bankrupcy at just age 14! She was a triple threat, having a great voice, being able to act well, and having good looks. She truly can't be compared to anyone else.

[kgbspy2000]

The 'Deana Durban Sweetheart Pack' is fantastic. Deana is one of the greatest actresses of her time.

[jhkiaimelavie]

je ne la connaissez pas je dois dire que j'ai écouté toute ses vidéo de youtube et j'adore merci.

[ateez32]

I love Deanna Durbin! I wish there were more singers/actors like her today. She has so much class, and her voice...wow. Whatever happened to her?

[coshigould]

Whatever happened to her- well, Deanna (Edna Mae) Durbin, after brightening the lives of countless fans from the late 30's to the 50's decided Hollywood was not for her, married and happily retired to France. A great pity for all those young males for whom she was an eternal first love.

[Hazrok]

decant i only found out she was a relative a couple weeks ago

[joesatana]

Bravissima

[Hazrok]

im her second cousin's great grandson w0oT!1

[voltape]

glory be! I saw Deanna when I was a child and is one of my memories of childhood (I'm 73 now) I though I'd never see her again! thanks, youtube!!

[joeasmythe]

Nobody around these days who could come close to her class and talent, she was a wonderful singer and a classy lady.

[Fegen]

@joeasmythe I recall my late mother telling me about Deanna Durbin when I was a child and

what a great voice she had. This video sure proves that!

[joeasmythe]

@Fegen .. I remember her well John, when movies were a thing of joy.

[Milordvega]

Is this movie available anywhere?

[violinthief]

In the U.S. there is a collection of six movies called the "Deanna Durbin Sweetheart Pack".

[Milordvega]

OK, I will look for it, thanks!

[bellasong75]

Just amazing!

[rino1954]

bravissima e bellissima

[katy66541]

she does not look like she's 17

[violinthief]

Deanna Durbin was born December 4, 1921. "First Love" was filmed in the spring of 1939 and premiered in theaters on November 10, 1939. In other words, she was 17 1/2 when it was filmed. Do you think she looked older or younger than 17?

[katy66541]

I thought she looked older :p

[marxfan8]

How come there's no one this talented in our generation?? It's not fair!!

Deanna was a superb talent, and she was said to be Anne Frank's favorite movie star.

[BethGoth15]

Oh my God! It was our last day today and for celebration, we had loads of certificates and presents, and for one of the two "musical interludes", a girl in my class sang this really sad song. She sounded just like Deanna.

[waynebrasler]

I've always loved this moment in the film. Durbin did and could sing anything and make it her own. She also was one of the greatest lip sychers in Hollywood history, along with Garland. And both of them attractive everyone on the lot when they recorded their songs prior to filming. They were both brilliant and so well-prepared and talent they seldom had to do more than a few takes. Durbin never liked filmmaking alas and finally said goodbye, way too early.

[boswell38]

Deanna actually enjoyed the work, but hated the studio-manufactured "facts" about her life and having to surrender so much of her private/personal life to celebrity. As a fan, I wish she'd continued in the business, but I give her credit for getting out when she did. With offers of concert performances with Sir Thomas Beecham, a blank check to perform in Las Vegas, films at MGM, Paramount and Warners, and the prospect of MY FAIR LADY on Broadway, it must've been a tough decision.

[swanningaround]

What a beautiful person and a wonderful voice. Here voice is so so like Kiri's. Just magic!

[Georgewos]

This is from the movie First Love. It was the movie where Deanna got Her first screen kiss from Robert Stack. It was His first movie.

[satantangochile]

vi el nombre de deanna durbin en una novela de murakami llamada tokio blues. es un buen libro. se los recomiendo.

[texasoperastar]

George (Charles Coleman) is a serious faced butler. But when Connie arrives at the home of her Uncle Jim, she brightens the place up with her amazing voice and sweet personality. The staff take Connie under their wing and help make her Cinderella story come true!

[Iolamusica]

Wow this is a great song! Can anyone tell me what's going on in the movie in that scene? Lol I love how astonished that guy looks! Hahaa!

[boswell38]

Deanna's character ("Connie") has just arrived at her Uncle's mansion. The family (her eccentric aunt and 2 snobbish cousins) run off to a party leaving her momentarily dejected. She decides to try to ingratiate herself with the butler and servants, and when the butler doesn't respond to her efforts to be friendly, she asks him if he likes music and sings this song. Naturally, he and the other servants are blown away by her remarkable voice.

[operababe89]

I think she's more talented than Judy Garland. I wonder why Judy was more famous?

[violinthief]

As teens, Deanna was much more famous than Judy. But after Koster and Pasternak left Universal, Deannas movies got considerably worse. And Universal refused to lend Deanna to other studios (she was offered the lead in Oklahoma!). Judy, on the other hand, had MGM's Freed unit behind her.

[boswell38]

Deanna was offered the female lead in Oklahoma! but, just to clarify, I think it was for the original Broadway version in 1943, not the 1955 film version. Universal, of course, refused to loan her for the show.

[boswell38]

While Deanna and Judy were at Universal and MGM, respectively, Deanna was just as big a star as Judy, in some ways bigger. Only her last four films for Universal-International were poor, and she was a much bigger attraction at the international box office (Britain, Russia, Japan) than Judy. Later, Judy became more famous because she continued to perform while Deanna retired and Judy's films werre available for public broadcast while Deanna's were not.

[liliandtom]

@operababe89 2 very different singers, both amazing. They did one short film together called every sunday. Judy garland went to Wizard of Oz and Deanna went on to Three smart girls.

[kukundrela]

She is awesome. I was born on 4th of December too, but in 1990. She was so wonderfully talented... And so beautiful and cheery... I love her, definitely!

[texasoperastar]

My favourite part is when DD sits on the couch and looks back at the butler. That look is tooo much!!!

[erzbet07]

Now THAT'S what I call singing!! Darling, delightful Deanna Durbin -- how we miss you these days!! She could light up the screen like 100 kleig lights. What a talent! Thanks so much for sharing this gem!

[paulostroff99]

Violin thief-more gold.Thank you!

[rino1954]

bellissima

[rickenba]

BRAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[suenote521]

I wish to say THANK YOU for posting all of these EXCELLENT Performances by my FAVORITE SINGER Deanna Durbin :)

[texasoperastar]

To know her is to love her!

[violinthief]

Pallette was a wonderful actor - he plays basically the same role in "My Man Godfrey", one of my favorite movies.

The butler is Charles Coleman - watch any movie from the 30s and keep your eyes open for him. He's everywhere, usually uncredited. IMDB has him at 228 movies, and I'll wager the real number is about twice that.

[defundthewar]

The rotund guy is character actor Eugene Pallette. He had a unique gravelly voice that's not heard in the clip.

[twentiesDOLL12213]

boy would i like to go back in time to when people loved operetta movies like these...must've been a better time than now!!!

[joeasmythe]

It sure was, we had values then, and our music was so great.. you are very wise

[lechusita]

Thanks for posting! This song, with Deanna at the helm, make this one amazing video! Very little is written about Joseph LaCalle, the composer, born in Spain in 1860. This song, made an enormous hit with English lyrics by Bob Eberle and Helen O'Connell. Unfortunately, he'd passed away before then, and never lived to see it performed by lovely Deanna Durbin, Bob or Helen.
