Deanna Durbin,100 musicians and the joy of the performing arts, especially in difficult times
Nominated for Best Picture Oscar in 1937, Deanna Durbin's second starring role is a wonderful film about artists, in this case, unemployed musicians wanting to, and clamoring to work again, set in the midst of the Great Depression. Durbin plays the daughter of out-of-work trombonist Adolphe Menjou, and she decides to start an orchestra for out-of-work musicians, the "100 Men" of the title. In her quest to get this orchestra paid engagements, she is told she must have a great conductor to lead them to give them some kind of reputation. Cue for 15-year old Deanna to start pursuing, and basically well, stalking, famed conductor Leopold Stokowski (playing himself, and acting quite well actully). The scene of Mr. Stokowski's first interaction with the 100 unemployed men, with Deanna's support, playing Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody # 2" is one of the screen's greatest and most affecting in capturing the artist's desire and joy in performing and Stokowski's reaction to their presence is priceless. In modern times, with opera house, theaters and symphonies closed at present, this film points out the importance of the performing arts for the artists and the audience. Deanna sings beautifully her musical numbers. As most of her films were really comedies with music as opposed to true musicals, her acting is as important as her musical ability, and throughout it is natural and excellent as well. In addition to Adolphe Menjou, she had great support Alice Brady, Misha Auer and Eugene Palette (all screwball comedy veterans who had co-starred in the classic "My Man Godfrey" the year before this film was made). It's a very entertaining and now, timely film, in these difficult times, and it and Deanna Durbin herself should be better known and rediscovered.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
