Three Smart Girls Grow Up DVD - UK Import PAL Region 2 - Classic Family Movie for Cozy Movie Nights & Vintage Film Collections

I became acquainted with the movies of Deanna Durbin just a few months ago but I believe they are all a delight. With almost all the movies at 90 mins. in length and ending happily, I have heard them described as "confections," and that is probably an accurate analogy. I would go further by saying they are like a very fine confection, perhaps a Sacher torte. Miss Durbin's voice has a wonderful tonal quality and her singing technique is highly refined. She is an excellent actress and it of course never hurts to be beautiful. The plots to the stories are often trite, however, making the story line so improbable as to be comical in itself. It is a credit to the actress that she refused to stay in an industry that was so limiting in professional styles. The reason for watching these movies is strictly to observe raw talent at work. Miss Durbin can take a common everyday song and make it memorable or sing a popular operatic aria with emotion and style that would cause a modern diva to groan with envy.
