Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Micky O'Neill (Adrian Dunbar) is a born salesman. As the booker of the local theater/dance hall, he is famous for hiring almost-celebrities like Franc Cinatra. When he is unable to tell his girlfriend (the beautiful Tara Fitzgerald) that he loves her, in so many words, she storms out of their bedroom. In order to win her back--and curry favor with her mother, not to mention keep his job--he decides to book famous tenor Joe Locke, who's wanted by the government for tax reasons and hasn't performed in decades. So begins Micky's quest to find the reclusive singer--and himself. The movie is so enthusiastically cheerful, it wins you over early on with its good-natured energy, and then never lets up. Hear My Song is like a rural British version of The Blues Brothers, with a tenor instead of a blues band, minus a whole lotta car wrecks, but a final performance surrounded by police. Really, how can you argue with that? --Andy Spletzer Average Rating:
 Rating: - Sinatra (Cinatra?) Knew A Good Thing When He Heard It"Hear My Song" (1992), an Irish film, a romantic musical comedy/drama, was written by its star, Adrian Dunbar, with Peter Chelsom, its first-time director, and is filmed on location in gritty Liverpool, England, and the lovely Irish countryside.

Forget about Casablanca, Citizen Kane and even Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Watch if again and again and again and again and again!!! Must be put on dvd!!! I am afraid our vhs tape will disintegrate!!! Rating: - One of the best comedies of the past two decadesThree of the best comedies of the past two decades are all British films that are shamefully not out on DVD: ENCHANTED APRIL, QUEEN OF HEARTS (look it up -- only used VHS copies are around), and HEAR MY SONG. All are flawlessly written, acted, and directed. And all are intelligent, mature (in the purest sense) comedies for adults -- a rare breed. Please look up each one, review it (even if just to say you want it available), and vote for it to be released on DVD by clicking the NOTIFY ME button. ... Read More Rating: - I Keep Hoping This Gem Will Come Out on DVDEvery once in a while, I check to see if this movie is out on DVD yet. And I'm still disappointed. I rented this years ago, and it is rollicking good fun. Rating: - A favoriteThis is one of my top-10 movies. I've seen it maybe 12 times, and the laughs are guaranteed every time. Offbeat in that inimitably Irish way! Why no DVD yet? Browse for similar items by category:
