Deanna Durbin is feisty in this fun film!,
By A Customer
This review is from: D.Durbin Something/Wind (VHS Tape)
"Something in the Wind" has to be one of Deanna's most underrated movies (the other being "The Amazing Mrs. Holliday"). Any fan of romantic musical comedies would love this fun-filled tale of a radio disc jockey (Durbin) who is kidnapped by a wealthy family under the impression that she is carrying their deceased patriarch's love child! This was definitely a change of pace for the usually sweet and innocent Deanna Durbin, whose long untapped comic abilities are finally put to good use. Her feisty character not only gets to sing more jazzy songs (including the toe-tapping "The Turntable Song," the sassy "You Wanna Keep Your Baby Lookin' Right" and the breezy "Something in the Wind") as well as opera (a powerful rendition of "Il Miserere" with Jan Peerce). With the always lovable Donald O'Connor (whose frenzied "I Love a Mystery" number is an obvious pre-cursor to his "Make 'Em Laugh" routine in the classic "Singin' in the Rain"), "Something in the Wind" turns out to be one of Deanna Durbin's best!

Something Wonderful,
By A Customer
This review is from: D.Durbin Something/Wind (VHS Tape)
It's wonderful whole new audiences are discovering the inimitable Deanna Durbin. This is my favorite of all her films. It's a strong story, with an excellent supporting cast and Deanna at her breeziest (she isn't Little Miss Fixit here). As for the music, "Something in the Wind" should have been a number one song but languished until many years later the Four Freshmen recorded it. Deanna does a lot of pop in this film in a lower register than her operetta/opertic performances and is saucy and persuasive. As usually, she's gorgeous and wears gorgeous fashions. And as usual she makes more of the script than was on paper. The something in the wind here is a delightful entertainment.
