 Rating:  - one of the best moviesThe sound quality of my VHS copy is fine (and believe me, I'm hard to please in that area). Yes, this movie belongs on DVD in Dolby 5.1. The story is so good, you'll swear it is fiction. But it isn't. A country girl from the Australian outback who becomes a world-famous opera singer? Come on! But it's all true. The first half of the movie is her struggle and rise. From sneaking off the ranch to an audition (of which her father vehemently disapproves) to her scholarship ... Read More Rating: - Fabulous portrait!The very gifted actress Eleanor Parker, made simply a vibrant and extraordinarily vivid performance about the life of Marjorie Lawrence's personal tragedy who was attacked by the polio. The famous Farrell supports Parker in his several characterizations. Excel tribute to one of the most distinguished figures of the Bel Canto. There are winning performances but the jewel of the crown was possibly his Brunhilde playing. Watch to Roger Moore (27) as his brother. A personal and artistic triumph ...

I saw it with my best-friend, then and now, who was also a victim of polio. This film was very touching and memorable. The acting was great. The music is beautiful. The real-life drama of overcoming catastrophic personal crisis with courage and determination was touching to watch. It was particularly significant to view with an individual who, while not famous, had to face the overwhelming uphill battle ... Read More Rating:  - INTERRUPTED QUALITYThis movie is the outstanding, true story of one of Opera's finest stars of the 20th Century, Australian Marjorie Lawrence, played by actress Eleanor Parker. Along with Glenn Ford and a very young Roger Moore, the acting is also superb. However, MGM/Turner Home Video should be slapped on the hand for a very poor sound transfer. After all, the movie is full of Lawrence's music, both opera and popular songs of the era. Yes, the sound track is in stereo, but MGM/Turner didn't reproduce ... Read More Rating: - Best opera movieI was 14 when this movie opened and I saw it at least five times (but I have never in my life worn a baseball cap backward, so I guess I have not really contradicted the previous reviewer). I repeated because the Liebestod (as sung by Eileen Farrell, though I did not know that until much later) was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life--then and since, though I had been a devout opera fan before that movie and have been a serious Wagnerian ever since. The movie somewhat romanticized Marjorie ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
