anybody know the durbin film where she was in the park with her fella and after he kisses her says her lips were so bitter. She says must be the poison I took then they have a wide shot of the park and there are many couples and all the men sit up and say poison did you take poison and all the girls laugh at the joke.
this is from a time when men were gentlemen and women were ladies. so sad to see how people are today. i so wish men and women were like this generation,real honest clean living people,who you could rely on. unlike today.
@tomato6999 I don't know where you are from, but this generation isn't as bad as you make out, although I do agree that a certain quality has been lost, a certain quality that is found in abundance within this clip!
When my brother died I got a sudden urge to watch Deanna Durbin. I bought her box set of 19 films, I watched them all over one weekend. It took me back as a little gir watching them with my nana.
i played this at christmas. you know there was not a dry eye in my house this is so beautiful and sung so beautifully by this lovely young girl. i do so wish people of today were more like this.
It is time for Time magazine and most of the other media to quietly pack their bags and steal away into the night. Journalism is dead. It has become nothing more than a propaganda tool of the far-left. I hope they don't let the door hit them in the azz
we were brought up on Deanna by my mother.She attended movies 3 times a week in Dundalk Ireland and Deanna was far and away her favourite.Everytime I play this clip it's for my late Mother.She has awarded it 10**********.
All Deanna's films are available on pretty competitively priced DVD's.I bought them for my 30yr old daughter who granma managed to imbue with the Deanna Durbin bug.Mam it worked.
Bubba - this movie is available as part of the "Deanna Durbin Sweetheart Pack" - six Deanna Durbin movies, including this one. It costs around 20 US dollars.
Deana is alive and well living outside Paris. She retired from films in the late 40`s and never went back to Hollywood(she found the place back then as all to phony)
It would be great to see her get an Honorary Oscar--long deserved.She was the STAR of Universal Pictures--the highest paid at the studio-400,000 per year. I love her films.
I remember watching a movie one sunday afternoon with my mum while making sunday dinner, It was a Deanna Durban movie and i have never forgotten her voice, it's like heaven listening to her sing, Thanks for posting the vids :)
Sadly, about 1/3 of the comments I get are crude and vulgar. That's why I chose the option to approve all comments. Just about any video you go to on Youtube has a bunch of foul-mouthed cretins saying tacky things - but not on my channel!
Thanks for the nice comment, Tori! I envy you - there are a good dozen Deanna Durbin movies you have yet to see. The one this is taken from, "Lady on a Train", is perhaps the one movie that could be classified "screwball noir". I think you'll like it. Incidentally - I LOVE your channel!
Thanks! I think I am becoming a Deanna Durbin fan. She has such a beautiful voice. Someone posted this movie on youtube so I have to watch it now. I have to laugh at that reviewer from TIME magazine. The camera loves her.
I suppose I must be a "fancier of the strange and terrible". I thought it was fabulous. The camera loves her and I can see why. She is gorgeous and her voice is haunting.
This beautiful song sung by Canada's greatest export is wonderful to listen to just before going to bed each and every night. It certainly helps one have a silent night knowing the words are absolutely true!
Not to mention the beautiful FACE of America's Darling! Deanna was a beautiful young woman and Woody Brendell's cinematography captures her at her peak. It's an unusual presentation of "Silent Night" to be sure, but Deanna sure looks and sounds wonderful while delivering it.
tomato. Unfortunately this is the 21st century. People like Obama are deciding how to act. They prefer the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce and Mariah Carey - all fakes. Obama has a lot to answer for. I had hope when he came in - but he is just another celebrity.
She was born in Canada but moved to the US as a baby and grew up here. So I figure both countries have a legitimate claim to her. In fact, Paulostroff is Canadian. On the other hand, his disparaging remarks about Durbin's singing abilities on the Te Kanawa Ave Maria thread I disagree with strongly. Durbin was a world class soprano - beautiful voice, nearly flawless technique. The Met, especially in the "golden age", doesn't invite mediocrities to sing for them.
voilinthief. Of course not. I cannot believe that anyone would dismiss Durbin's singing abilities, especially on the Kiri Te Kanawa thread. Kiri herself admits to copying her style. Both are great singers with falwless techniques.
What a vintage scene in the retro American films!
