Its amazing as a child 6 to 7 years old I remember watching deanna's films with my grandma, my grandma would come and say there is another film on are you coming to watch it with me. A glass of milk and some crispbreads with cheese. Unfortunately my grandma died when I was 7 years old but I never forgot loving deanna's films. Im 51 now and will always remember the films with fond memories.
My Mom grew up loving her at the theater long ago but I never understood because they didn't show these movies on TV growing up. Now I get it. Thanks for sharing that fond memory, your Grandma had great taste. Deanna was amazing! Foolish but it's fun.
@@dennisminer7952 Really? These classics never played on TV where you lived? I wonder where that was? I grew up South Cali & fortunately watched these classics since I was a wee one....from @ 7yrs young in Español & English. I'm so grateful TV was free back in those days, until about 6yrs ago. Now YT channels popping up with so many classics I've either never seen or haven't seen in decades. It truly calms my spirit. Gracias Gracias for uploading these wonderful movies. Peace be with everyone 🙏 ❤ "isa"
I have been having a bad day, being in pain and miserable and remembered this movie I haven't watched yet and it made me smile and forget about the pain.
@Bytomgirl ** I so know your pain, I too suffer with chronic pain. I'm Opioid free now & take chewable or powder Magnesium Bisglycinate to manage pain. It truly helps ALOT. Chat with your Dr. 1st about it. However, I'm able to deal & manage pain, insomnia & etc. I pray that you are doing well. Peace be with us all....."Isa" 🙏 ❤
I understand. I’m 91 do the same as you helps relieve the pain. But really enjoys the Deana Durbin films. You enjoy. Sadly makes me cry. 😢 they will never make films like that again. Same with Mario Lanza breathtaking. Take care. I hope you’re still enjoying these lovely films. ❤️🙏
Yes. Good 🎶 music w/melody can do that, relieve pain. Ancient Geeks had "Musical Theapy" for pain...Be well. G*D be with you, if it be His will. Amen. Wish you happiness, joy and good health...Amen.
Wonderful movie! Two of my favorites are Bob Cummings and Deanna Durbin. They were in another adorable movie...can't remember the name...they make a great couple on screen. I grew up watching the Bob Cummings Show. Miss them both. Movies like this are a lost art.
"It Started with Eve" is, I think, the one you mean. They were also in "Three Smart Girls Grow Up" but their characters were not a romantic pairing. I agree with you about a lost art, but we have these lovely films of Hollywood's Golden Age to console us. God Bless. :^)
@@JB1912JB Thank you for the names of those two movies! I saw them both only once, and loved them! I hope they're still on UA-cam. I bought several DVD's of Diane Durbin, but these two were not available. Wonderful movies, wonder actors, wonderful era to be alive!
I was introduced to Deanna Durbin by one of my residents in the aged care I worked at. I always used to listen to Waltzing high in the clouds with my resident. Decided to finally watch the movie today. It is so good. Deanna Durbin is such an amazing singer and actress. I wish I've watched this movie way earlier.
My God this is the 3rd movie of Ms.Durbin's I have watched in 3 nights. I just decided to watch one, see what it was like. This story would make a fine musical even now on live stage. I had no idea she had just passed away in April 2013 until I bumped into that story. All this talent packed into one person - singing is superior, the acting superb, and even dancing. Most of today's "stars" could not do this well if their life depended on it. She set the standard very high. Bless her.
Deanna beautiful voice. Like Mario Lanza there will NEVER be another singer like them. Thank God for my Apple Phone recordings. I’ve been so lucky at 91 years To remember these singers. Xx❤
My Grandfather took me to see this movie, I still remember when we got home and he tried to explain the petticoat scene to my grand mother. "She had at least twenty petticoats on and she took them off one at a time." My grandmother "What kind of movies are you taking the child to?" I still love the movie.
My grandfather, Bruce Manning, wrote this screenplay, and I just love this movie! It was unavailable for so many years and I'm glad to see that it has started re-surfacing over the last couple of years. Thanks for posting this wonderful film.
I've got so used to HD now, it's like watching without my spectacles on. That being said these movies were a lot more wholesome and innocent and kept the pretence that Hollywood was paved with gold. May Deanna and all who worked in that industry during its formative years, rest in peace.
I absolutely love this movie. I love Deanna Durbin. She is one of my favorite actress. She is very lovely and talented. Thank you for making it available to watch over and over again.
Indeed, your words are great, and I second them, Deanna Durbin has all the qualities in this film….Wonderful, beautiful , clever and witty! God bless her indeed! Deanna will live forever!
My mom had a trained voice for operetta... she was a soprano. After watching this movie I understand more than ever why Deanna Durbin was her idol her whole life and why she loved her so much. Deanna Durbin really did have an incredible voice and was very beautiful! I really enjoyed this movie and it is especially dear to my heart because it`s actually a Hungarian musical and my family is Hungarian. One viewing of this film and it`s already on my list of all-time favourites!
+Eve Shelby my mother was also trained singer who had to give up a possible career with the Met to take care of her mother, a pianist who had to give up touring due to severe asthma way back before inhalers, when oxygen tanks were the only treatment. I can close my eyes when Deanna sings and hear my mother's voice, they were so similar, light, clear and with a musical sound sound that you don't hear in many singers, especially on those high soprano notes, still musical, controlled, not shrieky and trying to prove something. She, too, loved Deanna Durbin.

+Carolyn Mitchell What a wonderful daughter your mom was... I'm sure that would have transferred to her mothering of her own daughter. I can totally relate although it wasn't an invalid mom she gave it up for but to raise the six of us. When my older sister and I were little she was still singing but once the the other four came along she just couldn't make time in her busy schedule and then by the time we were grown her medical issues stood in the way of her taking it up again although her voice was still beautiful. She would sing at home though while she did housework and just to entertain us. Dad played violin and Mom played a bit of piano so it was always a wonderful evening of music shared. Our family has more than its fair share of musical and artistic talent because of them. One of my favourite songs has always been 'Ave Maria' which Mom did sing beautifully and I never tired of hearing her... my dream was to have a recording of her singing it but unfortunately I was never able to get that... and since she passed a few years back I never will be able to.
Eve, you should watch all her movies, from when she was young to a grown woman. There is not one that is not truly remarkable, when it comes to her voice. She was a gift from heaven. L :)
15 years back, my mom told me Deanna was her favorite actress growing up . So, I picked this film as the first of many to watch and it's still my favorite. However, until I read your comment I never understood Deanna's musical influence on my soprano mother. She could compose a song in the kitchen based on my sisters', our my day at school our whatever and sing it entertainingly on the spot. We lived in Detroit and I can't believe her friends who appreciated that gal never directed her to Motown. Oh well, the world's loss our gain!! Thanks for the clue, Eve!!!
A lovely kind of "Sound of Music" 40's style with the irresistible charming Deanna Durbin as a Julie Andrews precursor, mutatis mutandis. Wonderful script plot and above all casting. Goodness and beauty brought together in wholesome amusing and winning combination.
Gee, that's the best movie I've seen in a long time! I haven't seen any actresses I like enough to call them my favorite until now. My, my, what a fantastic movie. Definitely one of my favorites now! Thank you very much for posting it!
Good movie and I really liked Deanna Durbin's singing voice :) I can't get that waltz music out of my mind! It's so beautiful :) Thank you JB1912JB for sharing it :)
Positively adorable movie. They just don't make them like this anymore. Deanna Durbin had a wonderful voice and was pretty as a picture. Brilliant actress.
I've been staring at the screen waiting for the movie to continue. I remember having watched this movie as a young kid with my parents some 40 some years ago. Thank you. It's a great way to start the week.
She had it all, beauty, voice, and a brilliant actress, I have the box set, she was always chasing older men, she was known as Winnipegs sweetheart, Winston Churchill, said Deanna durbin was his favourite actress, Anne Frank had an LP of her songs. Deanna durbin was the full package, brilliant!
"Thats the way we do it in Szilágysomlyó" Well, not any more, times have changed. :) I can testify as I live there. :D Just for anyone who might be interested, the distance between Szilágysomlyó and Vienna is about 600 km. :) Love all Deanna Durbin films, wish I could find somewhere a higher quality.
She had one of the great voices of the 30s and 40s as great as any at the Metropolitan Opera at the time. In fact the Metropolitan was interested in her but she voluntarily and abruptly ended her career and went into retirement. She was not the sweet girl image that Hollywood constantly projected, She was also a brilliant actress when allowed to be. A great talent almost wasted in Hollywood. Correct she should be recognized as one of the greats whose talents were limited by Hollywood
You're right about her not being the "sweet girl image that Hollywood constantly projected." In fact, when she married Felix Jackson in June of 1945, she was already one month pregnant with their daughter, Jessica (who was born in February of 1946). And, when she married Charles David in December of 1950 (just a month and a half after her divorce from Jackson became final), she was already three months pregnant with their son, Peter (who was born in June of 1951).
@@jmccracken1963 It's quite belated, but... Charles David is hands-down the ugliest man I've ever seen in a photo. Runners-up, husbands of Judy Garland and Doris Day. What were they thinking?
Que agradable ver esta película otra vez después de tantos años. Deanna Durbin era la alegría de los españoles durante aquellos años terribles de la post guerra. Rest in peace Deanna.
For some utterly stupid reason, a legal one as usual - the "Rights" to this film were lost - the only reason this copy, a 16mm one exists, it was presented to Deanna's parents & "Somehow" a fan obtained access to it, made a copy - a pretty good one - that you are now watching! I'm sure a good 35mm copy or even a positive master, still exists in Universal's archive. It should be properly released on DVD for all of Edna mae's many fans - worldwide to enjoy.
Abroad this film is just wonderful I just enjoy the Splendid songs do you wanna do then it was absolutely fantastic he kept the world going in her time
This has to be one of the greatest movies I ever saw. I must have laughed at least five times. And for the last two minutes I just couldn't keep myself from smiling. I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
oh my goodness clara!!!!!! I THINK SO TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Do you want to become THE BIGGEST DEANNA DURBIN FANS EVER TOGETHER??? We could watch all of her movies together at the same time! And it would be awesome.
oh wow. I would definitely be interested in seeing that. I hate how so many good movies get lost or damaged and can never be recovered. There are so many good movies that you can't find anywhere.
So, I looked for the movie you suggested, I can't find it. It's on IMBD but I don't know where you can actually watch it. Do you think if you went on the German internet it would be easier to find? I don't know how you could get on the German internet without going to Germany. But, some movies that I would suggest would definitely be Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies. They're filled with awesome dance routines and songs and comedy. I love them. I would also suggest Peter Pan from 1924. It is silent and sort of childish, but it's a great movie. After I watched it for the first time I just wanted to sit right back down and re-watch it over and over again. Of course every Deanna Durbin movie I have seen has been amazing. Other than Spring Parade, I really enjoyed It's A Date. Lastly, I recommend Jeannette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy movies. They were both opera singers before they became actors, so you can believe that there is a whole lot of opera singing in their movies. Maytime is my absolute all time favorite movie of theirs. (It's also the only one of theirs I have seen). Maytime is so touching and heartbreaking and sweet and just perfect in every way. The list could go on. If you want more, I could give you more. I'm pretty sure you can find all those online for free. What movies would you recommend? I would love to know.
That link is not letting me watch anything. It's just giving my computer a massive virus. (Don't worry about the virus. If my computer was a person, it would be dead because of all the viruses it has caught over the years). What is Viktor und Viktoria about? It's not the spring parade movie is it?
I watch this movie over & over again cuz I love it - EVERYTIME I see the goat part when she says "where's that stick!!!" I laugh out loud every single time - ;o) I love S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall & Robert Cummings - My other favorite part is when she dances with Mischa Auer - Can you imagine how many times they had to practice that dance ? - I've danced the chardash before & it's not easy, but it's lots of fun - thanks for the upload JB1912JB ! - mmc >^..^
I have just started to like Deanna Durbin movies. I recall watching a few on tv in the late 1970s but I never liked them or any of those boring musicals as a teenager. I had no idea who she was as most actresses from that period looked the same to me. I mainly had preferred action adventure and science fiction movies back then.Deanna looks much older than a young eighteen year old in this film. She had a nice speaking voice too.
I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE WITH DEANNA DURBIN...I COULDN'T STOP SMILING THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH & THAT OLD BAKER WHO WAS IN SO MANY MOVIES, JUST LOVE HIM...I LOVE THE WALTZES; AND MY 2XG-GRANDMOTHER WAS NAMED AFTER THE CITY 'VIENNA'...;)
I will forever love Deanna Durbin she will forever be my favorite actress from the 1930's this is one of my favorite movies of hers. I was shocked when I found out that shat she passes away in April 2013 and I wish I had known years before that if she was still alive I would have written a fan letter to her . I discovered her in 2006 when I went to the library and checked out The Sweetheart Pack for the first time and I fell in love with her films and as years went on I watched her other films and I fell in love with her more and more
I would have loved to have met this beautiful young musically talented lady! And protected and defended her from the liars deceivers and thieving wolves in Hollywood!
In Austria (and Europa) only the Version with the young Romy Schneider is well known to the audience. Spring Parade is here a hidden gem and I say "thank you" for uploading it. Funny to see, how Hollywood saw the "old emporer" Franz Joseph, but to be honest, the actor playing him is better then many of the german stars, impersonating the "good old kaiser". Deanna is now on my list of favourits - what a magnifisant voice, and what a cute actress.
1:22:17 this is the same music played by the orchestra in "It Started With Eve" (1939) also starring Deanna Durbin and Robert Cummings. (there used to be a book containing musical phrases - written in standard A thru G note form - and all normalized to the key of C Major / C minor - and arranged in alphabetical order - by which one could identify the name of the piece.)
"Spring parade" est à mon sens un film majeur du cinéma mondial, au même titre que les réalisations de Frank Capra...et c' est peu dire ! Deanna Durbin porte ce film de la tête et des épaules, et bien que chaque acteur joue superbement, cette chanteuse et actrice extraordinaire est ici au sommet de son art. Les qualités vocales de Deanna durbin sont prodigieuses, et je ne trouve personne dans son registre vocal pour égaler ses performances, mais surtout pour dire les choses, son naturel et l' émotion qu' elle procure à l' écoute de sa voix. Deanna est l' exemple typique de ce que nous appelons de nos jours une enfant précoce, à treize ans, sa voix était déjà parfaitement mature ( Il Bacio) et les airs complexes de l' opéra à sa portée...( "voir One hundred Men and a girl" 1937)...et donc les plus grands chef d' orchestre ( Stokowsky) étaient honorés de la conduire et des compositeurs particuliers, comme Robert Stolz, de même.... Dans ce film, en 1940, Deanna n' a que 18 ans, et la performance est totale, sous les musiques entre autre de Robert Stolz, un compositeur d' opérettes entre autres, spécialiste des valses et de l' esprit de Vienne, qui pendant la guerre, se trouvait en Amérique....et le scénariste originel du thème aussi....( Ernst Marischka) bref, c' est une équipe de premier ordre qui nous montre de façon joyeuse et douce, que la concorde des peuples est possible et souhaitable, et que l' exemple Autrichien, de tous temps, est un bon exemple. Deanna joue le rôle d' une jeune Hongroise, Ilonka Tolnay...le film est truffé de "clins d' yeux" à la situation internationale, les jeux de mots sont constants et partout, les "Viennoiseries" typiques du film s' appellent de Stloz-sticks"....en référence à la baguette du chef d' orchestre autant que celle du compositeur Robert Stolz.. Spring Parde était un thème déjà pensé et filmé en 1934, déjà réalisé avec Universal, dans sa filiale allemande, mais, la montée du Nazisme avait obligé l' équipe, constituée de nombreuses personnalités juives de tourner à Vienne, en Autriche. Joe Pasternak et Ernst Marischka travaillèrent à la réalisation des deux films, 1934 et 1940. Beaucoup de personnes pensent que si l' empire Austro-Hongrois n' avait pas disparu, la guerre n' aurait pas eut lieu....... Les artistes qui ont travaillé à ce film "spring parade" sont des humanistes, des hommes et femmes de grand courage et d' espérance, et ils ont mis en leur temps, toutes leurs compétances pour nous offrir un espace de vie, un lieu d' espérance et de bonheur, et tout au long de leur vie, ils ont agi de la même façon. A Vienne, Robert Stolz est très connu, et sa mémoire est immense et respectée, à juste titre, comme l' héritier des Strauss....mais avec cette notion honorable de l' engagement pour une grande cause, la paix, la liberté et la communion des hommes, des peuples. Il faut comprendre que cet homme fut au début de la guerre arrêté et interné dans un camp français, et que par chance libéré, il rejoignit l' Amérique avec son épouse, non sans avoir été déchu de sa nationalité allemande et tous ses biens confisqués ! Quelques semaines après, il donnait les valses de Vienne au Carnegie Hall !...ils ne rentrèrent à Vienne qu' en 1946. Deanna Durbin est une femme d' exception, et elle aura toujours chanté avec grande dignité, et dans son registre à la tessiture large, elle nous aura donné le plus bel "Ave Maria" que je connaisse....et bien que la partition soit simple, la chanter avec délicatesse et la fragilité requise n' est pas une chose acquise à toutes, à tous...même la Callas échoua piteusement sur le sujet....qui à des oreilles entende. mais je reste ébloui par sa performance de " none shall sleep" ( Nessun Dorma, Puccini) dans le film " his buttler sister", confondant de réalisme, l' âme au bord des lèvres...de loin pas une voix de comédienne, bien plus qu' une voix d' opéra et donc sans aucun "théâtre", mais bien un Être, une Voix. Cette performance , comme de nombreuses autres de Deanna Durbin furent reprises par la très jeune Jackie Evancho entre ses dix et douze ans !..., avec la même intensité, chantant "dans les pas" de son aînée, ...à mon sens les deux grandes interprètes virtuoses majeures de " l' Enfance Précoce". vaste sujet...... Deanna Durbin nous à quitté récement, ( quelle perte !), et ce n' est pas un hasard si elle est venue passer la majeure partie de sa vie en France, dans les Yvelines....ce petit côté universel, chez elle , lui permettait de penser avec le coeur, c' était une femme de coeur. D' ailleurs, pour une Canadienne, c' était bien agréable de reconnaître ses origines et y revenir...car bien que ses parents étaient Britanniques de Manchester, et si tout n' incombe pas aux Français, les canadiens et particulièrement les Québécois connaissent leur histoire, et leur origine...., en effet, Samuel Champlain (explorateur et cartographe de Brouage, près de La Rochelle, en Charente Maritime), nomma "la nouvelle France", ancien nom du Canada (1607), et il fonda la ville de Québec (1608) !...sans compter ses suivants, Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve et Jeanne Mance qui fondèrent " Ville Marie" (Montréal)....( en partant, là, de La Rochelle, 1641) Voici dans ce petit historique, exactement l' exemple et l' esprit de concorde et de filiation, humaine ou culturelle, que la société de production Universal avait mis en scène à travers ce film "Spring Parade". et le produire en plein totalitarisme Nazi était prodigieux, courageux, évocateur ! Christian Guignard 08-09-2016
So humorous & funny sometimes like a Tom boy I like her characteristic nature My dad loved her. She had a beautiful heart. God bless her soul forever. Loved watching her movies as a kid. I wish young people would appreciate this generation of movies. I'm 32 and it was way before my time but I love her and continue to like her voice and her movies.
deanna was from my mums era but watching her act and sing is great she was a fine actress with a beautiful voice its so sad that she has passed away the world has lost a gem r i p deanna
Thank you for posting this. I am in communication at the present with Universal. They are being most uncooperative regarding the release of this movie and any other movie that they have of Deanna Durbin that in not in release. I have assured them that I am about to stop with my campaign and I urge all other Deanna Durbin fans to join me in this battle to have her movies released.
Lynne. I actually just wrote a 3 emails to Universal almost 2 weeks ago BEGGING them to get her films MUCH more noticed. And I'm a 15 and a half year old girl! The first one said that the many films of hers that are on UA-cam must be unblocked, the second one said that they must get shown on national TV, and the third one said that they must get shown on Netflix for anyone who wants to order them. I told them that she was so big a star and that she should be remembered JUST as much as Gene Kelly, Garland, and Shirley Temple and that MANY Americans should know who she is. She was a complete American icon and the first ever Teen Idol. Plus, she had that voice that was compared to Jenny Lind when she was a teenager (She was one of the greatest opera singers of all time and was loved by millions of composers and people. She was from the 19th century though not the 20th.)
I bought the SweetHeart pack, and because I cannot obtain the others legally, I've been torrenting what I can. It's Universal's fault that they're missing out on my cash. If you want the money, make it available. They could do what Warner does and do print-on-demand.
morganucopia What's print on demand? Because we HAVE to get those films viewed on national TV and make her into the American icon that she should be remembered as!!
When she left Hollywood she just let every one know she was real, not just film. Most people cannot amagen her fam and how it keep her from living. She was so very nice about it. I was just a drip in the title wave. A drip is no problem but title waves can do you in. We were very lucky to have her for a time. My prayers a for her families lost may she RIP.
It's definitely one of her best vehicles. All the more surprising, then, that it hasn't had an official DVD release. As well as that special lady, it also benefits from a host of wonderful characters actors in support. Robert Cummings is wonderful as always.
Who else likes OLD movies I just love Deanna Durbin well in fact any old movies I sometimes think I’m older than my years or maybe I should have been born a few years before I was I am going to share this movie & see what people say about it PLEASE leave some comments Thanks 🏴
Yes. Cultural tragedy that many older people do not know how to promote their Cultural Heritage. My own mother, who disliked "Rock 'n Roll" attacked me, who tried to defend music from 1880's to 1949 or there abouts. My collection had to be abandoned. No money for storage. Sick, and weak at 83 yrs w/osteoporosis, arthritis, slipped disk, skin infection and crazy w/grief of friend s and relatives dying. Dopped up w/drugs to kill the pain. Self-pity, try so hard to defend life, liberty and honest compassionate concern for real purpose in life. Culture, traditions and ture love for melodies 🎶 music...That holds back grief 💔 ...
A new 35 mm print was made by the Library of Congress and was shown at the Stanford Theater in Palo Alto in December 2012 and at the Library of Congress Packard Theater in Culpeper, VA tonight (June 1, 2013) and it looks great!
If they haven't deteriorated too much, some of the better black and white movies have a beautiful visual feel to them. The cinematographers were cognizant of using that sheen and gleam of the silver nitrate stock. This is just a fancy way to say I agree.
Deanna Durbin had a beautiful voice. She was a contemporary of Judy Garland, and Judy quickly rose to stardom while Deanna took on lesser roles. Nonetheless, Deanna was wonderful! 💐
I think Judy Garland was wonderful but you got it in reverse. Deanna Durbin created an immediate superstar/worldwide sensation with the release of her first film THREE SMART GIRLS in 1936. Her first two films were nominated for Best Picture Oscars. Among other accolades, she was invited to plant her hand and footprints in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese theatre at the premiere of her third film, MAD ABOUT MUSIC, in 1938, and the following year was awarded a career achievement Academy Award after only four films for "Bringing to the Screen the Spirit and Personification of Youth and as a Juvenile Player Setting a High Standard of Ability and Achievement." She was always THE star of every one of the 21 feature films she made. By contrast, Judy did not attain star status until 1939's THE WIZARD OF OZ, and MGM did not begin to initiate a series of "Judy Garland vehicles" in which she was the central performer until 1942's FOR ME AND MY GAL and did not begin to regularly offer her the best talents MGM had available onscreen and behind the screen until 1944's MEET ME IN ST LOUIS, nine years after she was signed by MGM. Nevertheless, Judy was wonderful...as was Deanna
Its amazing as a child 6 to 7 years old I remember watching deanna's films with my grandma, my grandma would come and say there is another film on are you coming to watch it with me. A glass of milk and some crispbreads with cheese. Unfortunately my grandma died when I was 7 years old but I never forgot loving deanna's films. Im 51 now and will always remember the films with fond memories.
My Mom grew up loving her at the theater long ago but I never understood because they didn't show these movies on TV growing up. Now I get it. Thanks for sharing that fond memory, your Grandma had great taste. Deanna was amazing! Foolish but it's fun.

I was introduced to Deanna Durbin by one of my residents in the aged care I worked at. I always used to listen to Waltzing high in the clouds with my resident. Decided to finally watch the movie today. It is so good. Deanna Durbin is such an amazing singer and actress. I wish I've watched this movie way earlier.
My God this is the 3rd movie of Ms.Durbin's I have watched in 3 nights. I just decided to watch one, see what it was like. This story would make a fine musical even now on live stage.

Deanna beautiful voice. Like Mario Lanza there will NEVER be another singer like them. Thank God for my Apple Phone recordings. I’ve been so lucky at 91 years
To remember these singers. Xx❤
I also love her voice and Mario's the best of the best and am 69
I adore her voice yes im 91 so
Lucky to have seen and heard all Deana Durbins singing. I have all herCD’s.

I love reading the comments on ppl who have memories about these films
My Grandfather took me to see this movie, I still remember when we got home and he tried to explain the petticoat scene to my grand mother. "She had at least twenty petticoats on and she took them off one at a time." My grandmother "What kind of movies are you taking the child to?" I still love the movie.
😄 That’s a sweet story!
My grandfather, Bruce Manning, wrote this screenplay, and I just love this movie! It was unavailable for so many years and I'm glad to see that it has started re-surfacing over the last couple of years. Thanks for posting this wonderful film.
Great movie, in a time of class and culture. Your grandfather was very imaginative, and I love Deanna's movies.
Blair what a great film this is pity deanna good be around today it is a sad loss to a great singer
WOW...YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO REALLY BE PROUD OF, BLAIR...SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE...;)
Awesome about your Grandfather
Love hearing this and love more that you have such fond memories of your grandfather. Love it
I'm 65 normally I always have hateed musicals believe it or not I watched the whole thing loved the hell out of it!!!!!!
CHEERS
Same here
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE. PLEASE POST MORE OF DEANNA'S MOVIES IF YOU HAVE THEM.
I love Deanna Durbin’s voice I could listen to Deanna all day 💕😍🌈
Very cute movie. Thank you for sharing.
I've got so used to HD now, it's like watching without my spectacles on.
That being said these movies were a lot more wholesome and innocent and kept the pretence that Hollywood was paved with gold.
May Deanna and all who worked in that industry during its formative years, rest in peace.
I absolutely love this movie. I love Deanna Durbin. She is one of my favorite actress. She is very lovely and talented. Thank you for making it available to watch over and over again.
Indeed, your words are great, and I second them, Deanna Durbin has all the qualities in this film….Wonderful, beautiful , clever and witty! God bless her indeed! Deanna will live forever!
Through her music, she will live forever and still be entertaining people a thousand years from now.
Dear Deanna RIP- A great actress, singer and comedian Thanks for leaving all these wonderful movies. My mother and grandmother loved you too!
Simply the Best movie I have ever seen!.... Thank you.. :)
I have just watched the entire film (thank you) and from feeling fed up, I am now feeling happy. What a wonderful voice Ms Durbin has.
Deanna Durbin was just purely captivating... then the voice!
My mom had a trained voice for operetta... she was a soprano. After watching this movie I understand more than ever why Deanna Durbin was her idol her whole life and why she loved her so much. Deanna Durbin really did have an incredible voice and was very beautiful! I really enjoyed this movie and it is especially dear to my heart because it`s actually a Hungarian musical and my family is Hungarian. One viewing of this film and it`s already on my list of all-time favourites!
+Eve Shelby my mother was also trained singer who had to give up a possible career with the Met to take care of her mother, a pianist who had to give up touring due to severe asthma way back before inhalers, when oxygen tanks were the only treatment. I can close my eyes when Deanna sings and hear my mother's voice, they were so similar, light, clear and with a musical sound sound that you don't hear in many singers, especially on those high soprano notes, still musical, controlled, not shrieky and trying to prove something. She, too, loved Deanna Durbin.

+Carolyn Mitchell What a wonderful daughter your mom was... I'm sure that would have transferred to her mothering of her own daughter. I can totally relate although it wasn't an invalid mom she gave it up for but to raise the six of us. When my older sister and I were little she was still singing but once the the other four came along she just couldn't make time in her busy schedule and then by the time we were grown her medical issues stood in the way of her taking it up again although her voice was still beautiful. She would sing at home though while she did housework and just to entertain us. Dad played violin and Mom played a bit of piano so it was always a wonderful evening of music shared. Our family has more than its fair share of musical and artistic talent because of them. One of my favourite songs has always been 'Ave Maria' which Mom did sing beautifully and I never tired of hearing her... my dream was to have a recording of her singing it but unfortunately I was never able to get that... and since she passed a few years back I never will be able to.
Eve, you should watch all her movies, from when she was young to a grown woman. There is not one that is not truly remarkable, when it comes to her voice. She was a gift from heaven. L :)
15 years back, my mom told me Deanna was her favorite actress growing up . So, I picked this film as the first of many to watch and it's still my favorite. However, until I read your comment I never understood Deanna's musical influence on my soprano mother. She could compose a song in the kitchen based on my sisters', our my day at school our whatever and sing it entertainingly on the spot. We lived in Detroit and I can't believe her friends who appreciated that gal never directed her to Motown. Oh well, the world's loss our gain!! Thanks for the clue, Eve!!!
I was introduced to Deanna Durban at Stanford theater 2011 I liked her movies ever since great actress!!!
A lovely kind of "Sound of Music" 40's style with the irresistible charming Deanna Durbin as a Julie Andrews precursor, mutatis mutandis. Wonderful script plot and above all casting. Goodness and beauty brought together in wholesome amusing and winning combination.
Yes. I thought of Julie Andrews.
Gee, that's the best movie I've seen in a long time! I haven't seen any actresses I like enough to call them my favorite until now. My, my, what a fantastic movie. Definitely one of my favorites now! Thank you very much for posting it!
OMG! I’m in love after five minutes. Deeana Durban! Where ya been all my life?
Last saw this 60 years ago and it still hasn't aged, except like fine wine.
I have only recently come to know the magical Deanna Durbin. I am in awe of her as both a singer and an actress. Extraordinary!
Absolutely marvelous great film and her voice unbelievable
They don't make films like this any more. Thank you.
Good movie and I really liked Deanna Durbin's singing voice :)
I can't get that waltz music out of my mind! It's so beautiful :)
Thank you JB1912JB for sharing it :)
Positively adorable movie. They just don't make them like this anymore. Deanna Durbin had a wonderful voice and was pretty as a picture. Brilliant actress.
I knew that there must be movies with Deanna Durbin and this is one of them. Thanks!
I've been staring at the screen waiting for the movie to continue. I remember having watched this movie as a young kid with my parents some 40 some years ago. Thank you. It's a great way to start the week.
Sweet memories
She had it all, beauty, voice, and a brilliant actress, I have the box set, she was always chasing older men, she was known as Winnipegs sweetheart, Winston Churchill, said Deanna durbin was his favourite actress, Anne Frank had an LP of her songs. Deanna durbin was the full package, brilliant!
Love it.
And:
Deanna AND Winston were
*Sagittarians,*
(if that matters!)

deanna durbin's my idol too , and i love opera , deanna has such a lovely voice
Deanna Durbin the greatest singer and actress
"Thats the way we do it in Szilágysomlyó" Well, not any more, times have changed. :) I can testify as I live there. :D Just for anyone who might be interested, the distance between Szilágysomlyó and Vienna is about 600 km. :) Love all Deanna Durbin films, wish I could find somewhere a higher quality.
It's wonderful to see this again after so many years.
She had one of the great voices of the 30s and 40s as great as any at the Metropolitan Opera at the time. In fact the Metropolitan was interested in her but she voluntarily and abruptly ended her career and went into retirement. She was not the sweet girl image that Hollywood constantly projected, She was also a brilliant actress when allowed to be. A great talent almost wasted in Hollywood. Correct she should be recognized as one of the greats whose talents were limited by Hollywood
You're right about her not being the "sweet girl image that Hollywood constantly projected." In fact, when she married Felix Jackson in June of 1945, she was already one month pregnant with their daughter, Jessica (who was born in February of 1946). And, when she married Charles David in December of 1950 (just a month and a half after her divorce from Jackson became final), she was already three months pregnant with their son, Peter (who was born in June of 1951).

Deanna Durbin's singing brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. Never seen this one before and have been a fan of hers for years
What a great film this is they don't make films like this anymore shame it is
Amazing. Wonderful!!!!! Too good this movie!!!! Too good!!!
Que agradable ver esta película otra vez después de tantos años. Deanna Durbin era la alegría de los españoles durante aquellos años terribles de la post guerra. Rest in peace Deanna.
What a great voice she had
For some utterly stupid reason, a legal one as usual - the "Rights" to this film were lost - the only reason this copy, a 16mm one exists, it was presented to Deanna's parents & "Somehow" a fan obtained access to it, made a copy - a pretty good one - that you are now watching! I'm sure a good 35mm copy or even a positive master, still exists in Universal's archive.
It should be properly released on DVD for all of Edna mae's many fans - worldwide to enjoy.
Abroad this film is just wonderful I just enjoy the Splendid songs do you wanna do then it was absolutely fantastic he kept the world going in her time
This has to be one of the greatest movies I ever saw. I must have laughed at least five times. And for the last two minutes I just couldn't keep myself from smiling. I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
This has to be one of the best movies ever!
oh my goodness clara!!!!!! I THINK SO TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Do you want to become THE BIGGEST DEANNA DURBIN FANS EVER TOGETHER??? We could watch all of her movies together at the same time! And it would be awesome.
oh wow. I would definitely be interested in seeing that. I hate how so many good movies get lost or damaged and can never be recovered. There are so many good movies that you can't find anywhere.
So, I looked for the movie you suggested, I can't find it. It's on IMBD but I don't know where you can actually watch it. Do you think if you went on the German internet it would be easier to find? I don't know how you could get on the German internet without going to Germany.
But, some movies that I would suggest would definitely be Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies. They're filled with awesome dance routines and songs and comedy. I love them.
I would also suggest Peter Pan from 1924. It is silent and sort of childish, but it's a great movie. After I watched it for the first time I just wanted to sit right back down and re-watch it over and over again.
Of course every Deanna Durbin movie I have seen has been amazing. Other than Spring Parade, I really enjoyed It's A Date.
Lastly, I recommend Jeannette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy movies. They were both opera singers before they became actors, so you can believe that there is a whole lot of opera singing in their movies. Maytime is my absolute all time favorite movie of theirs. (It's also the only one of theirs I have seen). Maytime is so touching and heartbreaking and sweet and just perfect in every way.
The list could go on. If you want more, I could give you more. I'm pretty sure you can find all those online for free. What movies would you recommend? I would love to know.
That link is not letting me watch anything. It's just giving my computer a massive virus. (Don't worry about the virus. If my computer was a person, it would be dead because of all the viruses it has caught over the years). What is Viktor und Viktoria about? It's not the spring parade movie is it?
Pity we don't have singers like this again
Thank you for the lovely movie.
*R.I.P.*
We still love you, Deanna.
💜
We all meet up with her in time
I watch this movie over & over again cuz I love it - EVERYTIME I see the goat part when she says "where's that stick!!!" I laugh out loud every single time - ;o) I love S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall & Robert Cummings - My other favorite part is when she dances with Mischa Auer - Can you imagine how many times they had to practice that dance ? - I've danced the chardash before & it's not easy, but it's lots of fun - thanks for the upload JB1912JB ! - mmc >^..^
Such a pretty movie. Just the thing for days like this.
Deanna Durbin is 90 years old and thankfully still with us.
What a great voice she had my sister seen all her films she loved them all
I have just started to like Deanna Durbin movies. I recall watching a few on tv in the late 1970s but I never liked them or any of those boring musicals as a teenager. I had no idea who she was as most actresses from that period looked the same to me. I mainly had preferred action adventure and science fiction movies back then.Deanna looks much older than a young eighteen year old in this film. She had a nice speaking voice too.
what an angel.
So Beautiful.
So talented and delightful singer and actor. ♥️❤️💙🌹💗
What a cutie movie!
I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE WITH DEANNA DURBIN...I COULDN'T STOP SMILING THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH & THAT OLD BAKER WHO WAS IN SO MANY MOVIES, JUST LOVE HIM...I LOVE THE WALTZES; AND MY 2XG-GRANDMOTHER WAS NAMED AFTER THE CITY 'VIENNA'...;)
It S.Z. Szakall. Hungarian actor.
Dee-lightful!!! Thank you so much for posting!
Thank you, it's delightful! Love DD movies...
Awww..that was great. I had never seen this on before tonight. Thank you for posting it.
So touching
I will forever love Deanna Durbin she will forever be my favorite actress from the 1930's this is one of my favorite movies of hers. I was shocked when I found out that shat she passes away in April 2013 and I wish I had known years before that if she was still alive I would have written a fan letter to her . I discovered her in 2006 when I went to the library and checked out The Sweetheart Pack for the first time and I fell in love with her films and as years went on I watched her other films and I fell in love with her more and more
Loved it.
I would have loved to have met this beautiful young musically talented lady! And protected and defended her from the liars deceivers and thieving wolves in Hollywood!
In Austria (and Europa) only the Version with the young Romy Schneider is well known to the audience. Spring Parade is here a hidden gem and I say "thank you" for uploading it. Funny to see, how Hollywood saw the "old emporer" Franz Joseph, but to be honest, the actor playing him is better then many of the german stars, impersonating the "good old kaiser". Deanna is now on my list of favourits - what a magnifisant voice, and what a cute actress.
EmpEror
Beautiful singing and music

this is the same music played by the orchestra in "It Started With Eve" (1939)
also starring Deanna Durbin and Robert Cummings.
(there used to be a book containing musical phrases -
written in standard A thru G note form -
and all normalized to the key of C Major / C minor -
and arranged in alphabetical order -
by which one could identify the name of the piece.)
BEST FILM EVER!!!!!!!!! 😃 As well as all her other films I watched! 😁😄
"Spring parade" est à mon sens un film majeur du cinéma mondial, au même titre que les réalisations de Frank Capra...et c' est peu dire !
Deanna Durbin porte ce film de la tête et des épaules, et bien que chaque acteur joue superbement, cette chanteuse et actrice extraordinaire est ici au sommet de son art.
Les qualités vocales de Deanna durbin sont prodigieuses, et je ne trouve personne dans son registre vocal pour égaler ses performances, mais surtout pour dire les choses, son naturel et l' émotion qu' elle procure à l' écoute de sa voix. Deanna est l' exemple typique de ce que nous appelons de nos jours une enfant précoce, à treize ans, sa voix était déjà parfaitement mature ( Il Bacio) et les airs complexes de l' opéra à sa portée...( "voir One hundred Men and a girl" 1937)...et donc les plus grands chef d' orchestre ( Stokowsky) étaient honorés de la conduire et des compositeurs particuliers, comme Robert Stolz, de même....
Dans ce film, en 1940, Deanna n' a que 18 ans, et la performance est totale, sous les musiques entre autre de Robert Stolz, un compositeur d' opérettes entre autres, spécialiste des valses et de l' esprit de Vienne, qui pendant la guerre, se trouvait en Amérique....et le scénariste originel du thème aussi....( Ernst Marischka) bref, c' est une équipe de premier ordre qui nous montre de façon joyeuse et douce, que la concorde des peuples est possible et souhaitable, et que l' exemple Autrichien, de tous temps, est un bon exemple.
Deanna joue le rôle d' une jeune Hongroise, Ilonka Tolnay...le film est truffé de "clins d' yeux" à la situation internationale, les jeux de mots sont constants et partout, les "Viennoiseries" typiques du film s' appellent de Stloz-sticks"....en référence à la baguette du chef d' orchestre autant que celle du compositeur Robert Stolz..
Spring Parde était un thème déjà pensé et filmé en 1934, déjà réalisé avec Universal, dans sa filiale allemande, mais, la montée du Nazisme avait obligé l' équipe, constituée de nombreuses personnalités juives de tourner à Vienne, en Autriche. Joe Pasternak et Ernst Marischka travaillèrent à la réalisation des deux films, 1934 et 1940.
Beaucoup de personnes pensent que si l' empire Austro-Hongrois n' avait pas disparu, la guerre n' aurait pas eut lieu.......
Les artistes qui ont travaillé à ce film "spring parade" sont des humanistes, des hommes et femmes de grand courage et d' espérance, et ils ont mis en leur temps, toutes leurs compétances pour nous offrir un espace de vie, un lieu d' espérance et de bonheur, et tout au long de leur vie, ils ont agi de la même façon.
A Vienne, Robert Stolz est très connu, et sa mémoire est immense et respectée, à juste titre, comme l' héritier des Strauss....mais avec cette notion honorable de l' engagement pour une grande cause, la paix, la liberté et la communion des hommes, des peuples. Il faut comprendre que cet homme fut au début de la guerre arrêté et interné dans un camp français, et que par chance libéré, il rejoignit l' Amérique avec son épouse, non sans avoir été déchu de sa nationalité allemande et tous ses biens confisqués ! Quelques semaines après, il donnait les valses de Vienne au Carnegie Hall !...ils ne rentrèrent à Vienne qu' en 1946.
Deanna Durbin est une femme d' exception, et elle aura toujours chanté avec grande dignité, et dans son registre à la tessiture large, elle nous aura donné le plus bel "Ave Maria" que je connaisse....et bien que la partition soit simple, la chanter avec délicatesse et la fragilité requise n' est pas une chose acquise à toutes, à tous...même la Callas échoua piteusement sur le sujet....qui à des oreilles entende. mais je reste ébloui par sa performance de " none shall sleep" ( Nessun Dorma, Puccini) dans le film " his buttler sister", confondant de réalisme, l' âme au bord des lèvres...de loin pas une voix de comédienne, bien plus qu' une voix d' opéra et donc sans aucun "théâtre", mais bien un Être, une Voix.
Cette performance , comme de nombreuses autres de Deanna Durbin furent reprises par la très jeune Jackie Evancho entre ses dix et douze ans !..., avec la même intensité, chantant "dans les pas" de son aînée, ...à mon sens les deux grandes interprètes virtuoses majeures de " l' Enfance Précoce". vaste sujet......
Deanna Durbin nous à quitté récement, ( quelle perte !), et ce n' est pas un hasard si elle est venue passer la majeure partie de sa vie en France, dans les Yvelines....ce petit côté universel, chez elle , lui permettait de penser avec le coeur, c' était une femme de coeur. D' ailleurs, pour une Canadienne, c' était bien agréable de reconnaître ses origines et y revenir...car bien que ses parents étaient Britanniques de Manchester, et si tout n' incombe pas aux Français, les canadiens et particulièrement les Québécois connaissent leur histoire, et leur origine...., en effet, Samuel Champlain (explorateur et cartographe de Brouage, près de La Rochelle, en Charente Maritime), nomma "la nouvelle France", ancien nom du Canada (1607), et il fonda la ville de Québec (1608) !...sans compter ses suivants, Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve et Jeanne Mance qui fondèrent " Ville Marie" (Montréal)....( en partant, là, de La Rochelle, 1641)
Voici dans ce petit historique, exactement l' exemple et l' esprit de concorde et de filiation, humaine ou culturelle, que la société de production Universal avait mis en scène à travers ce film "Spring Parade". et le produire en plein totalitarisme Nazi était prodigieux, courageux, évocateur !

Just Wonderful. Thanks!
So humorous & funny sometimes like a Tom boy I like her characteristic nature My dad loved her. She had a beautiful heart. God bless her soul forever. Loved watching her movies as a kid. I wish young people would appreciate this generation of movies. I'm 32 and it was way before my time but I love her and continue to like her voice and her movies.
deanna was from my mums era but watching her act and sing is great she was a fine actress with a beautiful voice its so sad that she has passed away the world has lost a gem r i p deanna
Reminds of Shirley Jones whom I have interviewed and whom I like.
Thank you for posting this. I am in communication at the present with Universal. They are being most uncooperative regarding the release of this movie and any other movie that they have of Deanna Durbin that in not in release. I have assured them that I am about to stop with my campaign and I urge all other Deanna Durbin fans to join me in this battle to have her movies released.
Lynne. I actually just wrote a 3 emails to Universal almost 2 weeks ago BEGGING them to get her films MUCH more noticed. And I'm a 15 and a half year old girl! The first one said that the many films of hers that are on UA-cam must be unblocked, the second one said that they must get shown on national TV, and the third one said that they must get shown on Netflix for anyone who wants to order them. I told them that she was so big a star and that she should be remembered JUST as much as Gene Kelly, Garland, and Shirley Temple and that MANY Americans should know who she is. She was a complete American icon and the first ever Teen Idol. Plus, she had that voice that was compared to Jenny Lind when she was a teenager (She was one of the greatest opera singers of all time and was loved by millions of composers and people. She was from the 19th century though not the 20th.)
I bought the SweetHeart pack, and because I cannot obtain the others legally, I've been torrenting what I can. It's Universal's fault that they're missing out on my cash. If you want the money, make it available. They could do what Warner does and do print-on-demand.
H Miller So nice to see young people getting into these old movies. I'm 32 and I watch tons of old films. Check out free-classic-movies.com
morganucopia What's print on demand? Because we HAVE to get those films viewed on national TV and make her into the American icon that she should be remembered as!!
+morganucopia , i love old movies
What a great voice she had, lucky to get to hear her we are
what a wonderful movie Deanna Durbin what a wonderful voice beauty and brains I loved horror movies for years before the upload :)
Thank you very much for this wonderful film! What a fantastic moments I had watching it!
When she left Hollywood she just let every one know she was real, not just film. Most people cannot amagen her fam and how it keep her from living. She was so very nice about it. I was just a drip in the title wave. A drip is no problem but title waves can do you in. We were very lucky to have her for a time. My prayers a for her families lost
may she RIP.
I LOVE TO WHISTLE - Thank you for the memory of my Youth. Long, lomg ago :)
Really beautiful movie! It has been an awesome experience. The actors are stunning ♥
This is a Incredible Movie.
I remember watching her movies I'm 78 now 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
God Bless you! +JMJ+
It's definitely one of her best vehicles. All the more surprising, then, that it hasn't had an official DVD release.
As well as that special lady, it also benefits from a host of wonderful characters actors in support. Robert Cummings is wonderful as always.
I love Deanna Durbin 1940
Who else likes OLD movies I just love Deanna Durbin well in fact any old movies I sometimes think I’m older than my years or maybe I should have been born a few years before I was I am going to share this movie & see what people say about it PLEASE leave some comments Thanks 🏴
I adore old movies. This is my first Durbin film. There is very little of 'modern' movies or modern life that I feel akin to
Yes ! My cultural heritage. My "roots."
Yes. Deann. And, Mac & Eddy, naturally. Have DVD collection of both. Thanks for the post...
@@luvluvluvluvcatsYes. Agreed.
Yes. Cultural tragedy that many older people do not know how to promote their Cultural Heritage. My own mother, who disliked "Rock 'n Roll" attacked me, who tried to defend music from 1880's to 1949 or there abouts. My collection had to be abandoned. No money for storage. Sick, and weak at 83 yrs w/osteoporosis, arthritis, slipped disk, skin infection and crazy w/grief of friend s and relatives dying. Dopped up w/drugs to kill the pain. Self-pity, try so hard to defend life, liberty and honest compassionate concern for real purpose in life. Culture, traditions and ture love for melodies 🎶 music...That holds back grief 💔 ...
Vielen Dank !!!

Best movie ever.
A new 35 mm print was made by the Library of Congress and was shown at the Stanford Theater in Palo Alto in December 2012 and at the Library of Congress Packard Theater in Culpeper, VA tonight (June 1, 2013) and it looks great!
Good to know!
Hope it'll be on DVD at some point if it isn't already.
The various shades of gray, and the sheen of the film are very pleasing to me ~
If they haven't deteriorated too much, some of the better black and white movies have a beautiful visual feel to them. The cinematographers were cognizant of using that sheen and gleam of the silver nitrate stock. This is just a fancy way to say I agree.
Великая киноактриса! Такие- на вес золота!!
love Deanna Durbin!!!
dianne hendricks my sister name is Deanna not sure if she was name after her but my loved the name
I meant my mom loved the name
awesome movie thank you;-)
Another MOST Excellent movie starring Deanna Durbin and her incredible voice.
Deanna Durbin had a beautiful voice. She was a contemporary of Judy Garland, and Judy quickly rose to stardom while Deanna took on lesser roles. Nonetheless, Deanna was wonderful! 💐
I think Judy Garland was wonderful but you got it in reverse. Deanna Durbin created an immediate superstar/worldwide sensation with the release of her first film THREE SMART GIRLS in 1936. Her first two films were nominated for Best Picture Oscars. Among other accolades, she was invited to plant her hand and footprints in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese theatre at the premiere of her third film, MAD ABOUT MUSIC, in 1938, and the following year was awarded a career achievement Academy Award after only four films for "Bringing to the Screen the Spirit and Personification of Youth and as a Juvenile Player Setting a High Standard of Ability and Achievement." She was always THE star of every one of the 21 feature films she made.
By contrast, Judy did not attain star status until 1939's THE WIZARD OF OZ, and MGM did not begin to initiate a series of "Judy Garland vehicles" in which she was the central performer until 1942's FOR ME AND MY GAL and did not begin to regularly offer her the best talents MGM had available onscreen and behind the screen until 1944's MEET ME IN ST LOUIS, nine years after she was signed by MGM.
Nevertheless, Judy was wonderful...as was Deanna
that was adorable.
