That music! Director Irving Rapper had wanted Tyrone Power to play Gershwin, but Power was still serving in the Marines, so Rapper had to settle for Robert Alda-who isn't bad at all, just a trifle over-enthusiastic.

  • A full life condensed

    The music is great, the characters credible but the story line is a bit trite but overall the story line does not matter too much since it is virtually impossible to compress the full life which Gershwin had into 2 hours but nonetheless the dvd is excellent viewing

  • One for the musical collectors

    Fine film on the life of George Gershwin with generally superb musical numbers, though the title section is a little over-long. Robert Alda is pleasant if somewhat bland as Gershwin but Joan Leslie, as ever, is gorgeous. It's not often seen but a lovely collector's item.

  • DVD - Life and music of George Gershwin

    The DVD arrived quickly. When I watched it there was one little blip on the recording but not worth worrying about, hence 4 stars.

  • Good value for money Welp portrait we will see it more than once

    The film was very entertaining and being it was of old-age it certainly brought back memories both myself and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it
