I enjoyed the movie apart from Tone's character (he was annoying and super cheesy) the rest was great. Laughton is as always the best part about the picture.

If only it were that easy to become a famous actress. As someone who wants to break into the business how great would it be to trick your way into starring in a play, by getting someone's autograph? I admired Durban's clever trickery. The plot made me think of a Disney type movie.

My fave character was John, mainly because he reminded me of Glenn Fleshler. My only problem was the romantic connection between Durban and Paul Taylor. I didn't like them together. They first meet when he's basically cat calling her, and she's not interested until she finds out he is in charge of John's new play. And at the end he's only interested in her again because the play ends up being a success. The relationship was built around circumstances, yet it played out that it was romantic and happy ending. I thought it was kinda messed up how he wanted his name off the play, because he was sure it would flop, but once it didn't, that made him interested in her again? If it did flop he would have never pursued her? Yikes

Deanna Durbin has perhaps the most beautiful singing voice in the history of this planet. I never leave reviews but had to say something upon reading the review of the ignoramus who spoke of her singing in--to put it politely--disparaging terms. To you, sir, madam, or whatever else you could possibly be, do the human race a favor and please resign from it. That act alone would probably bring peace and sanity to a world sadly in need of it.

There's a reason she alone saved Universal Studios from bankruptcy. Because 60 years ago, people actually had ears, eyes, and brains. God save us all.
