9/10
Movie with a heart
29 November 2007
An incredible performance by Susan Hayward as Jane Froeman. Her lip syncing the songs are flawless. Obviously filmed in studio sets, unlike todays location, picture still feels authentic in most cases. Good old fashioned writing, direction and acting. The new DVD is almost perfect. A bit hazy here and there. Much of the footage is made up of songs. The actual screenplay must have been very thin. The songs are what it's all about and worth the price just to hear these great standards again and again. Interesting extras as well. Ironically, another Susan Hayward type bio is being released at the same time, I'LL CRY TOMORROW, another must see. Hayward was nominated numerous times and finally won for I WANT TO LIVE. She should have won for every movie she was nominated for. A true star in every sense of the word. Please see WITH A SONG I MY HEART.
