The voice is that of Eileen Farrell, dubbed for the actress Eleanor Parker portraying the great Aussie opera singer and horsewoman, Marjorie Lawrence. What will represent poor old Grane in the new Met production?!

Vejam a estupenda trilha sonora: La Boheme (G. Puccini) Carmen (G. Bizet), Il Trovatore (G. Verdi) Madama Butterfly (G. Puccini) Carmen (G. Bizet) Götterdämmerung (R. Wagner) Samson et Dalila (C.Saint-Saens) Mon coeur s'ouvre um ta voix (minha preferida) Over The Rainbow (Harold Arlen) Le Nozze di Figaro (Mozart) Patriótica Medley Tristan und Isolde (R. Wagner). Precisa de mais???
Finally, if a director or an actress / actor is reading this ...(and I sincerely hope it happens) the film would be an excellent remake for today. With such a bad thing being done just to gain more and more money…
Continued: something interesting is the love scenes between the pair, very well done and no sex appeal, but make the people dream about what comes next ... actors brilliantly show the contrast in behavior between the characters (he more restrained, she hot) I've ever seen in cinema.
This scene (actually real) part of the movie "Interrupted Melody", starring Eleanor Parker, Glenn Ford and Roger Moore. The great soprano Marjorie Lawrence was what actually performed the opera like Wagner wrote. The movie is fantastic and is my favorite. Despite some flaws in their production (characteristic of the time), he brings a very important issue: the inclusion of disabled people in society. Moreover, many people began to appreciate opera after this movie. I, for example.
As GregOpera said, maybe too theatrical (more than a little bit). But I applaud the production and the real horse -- at the end of the act, not following Brunhilde's ride into the fire.
GREAT! This scene, and the music and the culture which underlies it, comes from a time before critics, angry at their own lack of talent, disseminated the concept of "camp" and "kitsch" as a form of personal revenge against genius.
This is great because you never see productions like this anymore. This is exactly as it was shown at Bayreuth in the time of Richard Wagner. The background matt paintings of Valhalla, the costumes, the spears and helmets, THE HORSE. The old fashioned 19th century and early 20th century Rings were really the closest to Wagner's vision. Today it's pure post modern abstract garbage. You can't even tell it's Wagner's Norse mythology drama
@MastersoftheOpera This is so true. I wish we could see this type of productions today. I also liked the previous Met production even though it didn't use the horse at the end. Today it looks like they declared war on visual beauty. Even the productions that don't move the action anywhere but where it's supposed to be, they still feature sparse abstract sets. What is wrong with visual beauty? We go to opera to listen to beautiful music, why can't we have sets that match it? Loved this movie.
This was actually an excerpt from a 1955 biopic about soprano Marjorie Lawrence, a great soprano who unfortunately came down with Polio in the 40's and lost her ability to stand due to it. She is known as the only soprano to follow Wagner's stage directions at the end of Gotterdamerung. Here, we're seeing Eleanor Parker miming th singing voice of Eileen Farrell, and although there's only one scene of Wagner goodness Interrupted Melody is still a great, great film.
I have heard that Marjorie Lawrence did not consider the film to be an accurate depiction of her life. I would love to know why Eileen Farrell provided the vocals, not Marjorie Lawrence herself. When this film was made, Lawrence was still an active performer. Does anyone know why her voice was not used?
When the film was made Lawrence was still singing but didn't sound much the same as she did (thanks to polio). She did record the tracks for the film, but the film producers opted to use Farrell's (then more imposing) voice instead.
SDCmorg--Thank you for that information. I didn't know that Marjorie Lawrence had recorded the sound track for the film, and I can't imagine why it wasn't used. At that point in her career, she still had plenty of voice left, and she herself said that her voice was better after her illness than it was before. What a shame that the producers of the film didn't use her voice. Do these recordings still exist? I am fascinated by Marjorie Lawrence and by her untapped potential.
Very theatrical and animated. Very alive. It's unfortunate that this kind of traditional acting is best seen from a distance, not from three feet away.

Very impressive, it's the first time I've ever seen a horse, never mind riding it onto the fire.
I wonder how they managed the Rhine flooding and the collapse of Valhalla???

実際に生きてる馬に乗る演出があったらいいのに、と思っていたところ・・やっと見つけました。いかにも女神様らしい美しいブリュンヒルデです。馬に飛び乗る所で声が全く乱れない。馬もよく訓練されてるし。今のチープな演出と違っていいですよね。今はアートとジャンクの区別がつかないような舞台が多すぎます。
