Wow! Beautiful lyrics sung by an amazing actress. It doesn't get any better than this.

Love this scene! In my opinion, it's the best scene in an otherwise pleasant but weak film. Proves conclusively that Deanna Durbin was not only a superlative singer with a glorious voice, but a marvelous comic actress, unsurpassed in her ability to act naturally, in a style contrary to the song she's singing, when she was called upon to do so. Pop culture historian Ethan Morrden referred to this performance as "matchless" and he was right. Thanks for posting it!

@violinthief Lanza was in a similar situation. He had the voice to be a great opera singer as he proved in the many opera arias he recorded. But in the end Hollywood was too big a lure. And he probably lacked the discipline for the opera stage.
Durbin had the sense to get out before Hollywood destroyed her.

Why was the guy running away from her?

@gregoryagogo Figure out why the elevator didn't stop! Maybe this elevator is old school, and was dependent on the operator who was distracted by her singing... now that's a story I can live with!
-
Love the folks looking at the elevator door as "the voice" goes down... but why didn't the door open on that floor when all those people were waiting by it?!! LOL
Overall a really fun sequence! The song is absolutely beautiful...and Little Miss Deanna Durbin always does a wonderful job...

Got to see this Movie! HAS to be one of the BEST renditions of this fabulous Song ever! Wish somebody could help me out with the version I'm looking for... The Singer I'm seeking must have sung it in the same key as Durbin; since it's 'lower' and more 'rounded' like this one, whereas most others are 'squeaky'. The only difference being, the rendition I'm after, did not end on such high notes - but was actually still quite low as the rest of the Song.

Can anyone please help me to solve a mystery regarding this beautiful Song? The Song 'Good-Bye' was recorded by many Artists. I had a copy years ago sung by a Soprano - it was of coarse on a 78 record and it was on the 'green' Columbia Record Label (standard 10") - but that's all I know. I'm longing to find out who it was that sang it. Any ideas? Would be so grateful! Thanks. Anyone know the title of the Movie this clip is taken from by the way? Looks a great Film - Thanks for Posting!

Her singing blows me away!
Incredible!

LOL what a comedy on this film.

Beautiful voice. Too bad she didn't solidify her singing and artistic legacy by doing legitmate opera, say at the Met.
Was it beyond her?

If anything, she was beyond the Met. From age 15, the Met tried to recruit Durbin (to this day the youngest to star at the Met was 18). There were always rumors that she would sing at the Met, but they came to naught. In the late 30s and 40s she was one of the highest paid women in America. Through her movies, she reached a far wider audience that she ever would have singing on stage. To hear her with a top Met star, check out my post of Deanna and Jan Peerce.

A great song and she sings it well, one of the old stand-bys. Lovely voice - a shame they had to couple it with the ridiculous on-screen action which serves only to irritate!

One of the great dilemmas with musical pictures is how to integrate a song into a movie without bringing the story to a standstill. I find this scene quite funny myself - they mimed quite a lot and only talked during the orchestral interlude. Durbin made studio recordings of all her movie songs for Decca. Alas, I don't have her studio version of "Goodbye" yet. Compare the two posts of Durbin's "Because" to see and hear the difference between movie and studio versions.
