Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Vonia With a Song in My Heart (1952) Director: Walter Lang Watched: 6/25/18 Rating: 5/10 {Clue: A selected biography of this music, radio, and television star who was involved in production and offers her voice for vocals.} Fairly entertaining- especially Ritter's performance, Remarkable voice- but aside from a few highlights, all her songs sound the same! Original narrative style: voice-overs by the two men in her life (Ross & Burns) and her best friend and nurse (Clancy), Maudlin and sugar-coated (especially her mantle as Mrs. USO!) as could be expected for a human interest story, A testament to the impossibility of marriages where wife outshines husband- but what did he expect when he guilted her into marriage despite her unambiguous misgivings? Needs more character depth and the singing performances to not take half the running time to feel less like a dramatized documentary. Acrostic is a form of poetry where the first letters in each line, paragraph, or word are doubly used to spell a name, phrase, or word. The word "acrostic" comes from the Greek words "akros" (outermost) and "stichos" (line of verse). Read the appropriate letters in the poem vertically to reveal the extra message, called the "acrostich"! #Acrostic #PoemReview #Disability #GoldenGlobesBestPicture #Musical
bombersflyup With a Song in My Heart is a biographical musical, which didn't contain enough plot or drama for me.Of what it did contain beyond the musicals, I liked. It just never really went anywhere, it would of been nice to see Jane's experience with the troops outside of performing, just day to day. Both romances are just brushed over and contain little substance, we never see Jane having a good time with either of these guys. The troops reactions to her singing is too ridiculous for me, stupid grins on faces and singing along, other than the initial song at the club with the paratrooper, which I liked. Susan Hayward was good, I just wanted more than songs.
Lawson Musicals aren't quite as impressive when one has the knowledge that the lead's singing has been dubbed, in this case Susan Hayward, by the singer she portrays, Jane Froman. Essentially though, that means Hayward may as well have received her Oscar nomination for excellent lip-syncing, since there isn't much to her character, a goody-two-shoes who suffered tragic injuries in a plane crash, and her supposedly remarkable imitation of Froman is lost in this day and age when not many people remember even Hayward, much less Froman.Thankfully, Thelma Ritter comes to the rescue once again, and she also receives an Oscar nomination for bringing her trademark brand of tough love to the story as Hayward's nurse. It is somewhat to Hayward's detriment though, since her more dramatic scenes involve her recuperation but Ritter almost always outshines her (or at least, out-talks her).Otherwise, this movie is pretty uninteresting, though it probably meant more to people back then who actually knew Jane Froman was or could appreciate a pretty standard overcoming-adversities story. Nice outfits though, and young Rory Calhoun was pretty hot.You should probably only watch this if you're a fan of Hayward or Ritter (or the even rarer Jane Froman fan).
jkucharik The story of Jane Froman, a remarkable woman and radio personality of the 1930s & 40s, who faced much tragedy in her own life, but selflessly dedicated herself to making others happy through her music, particularly the wounded troops fighting in World War II. An excellent and moving story, but the music is the key success to this film. The real Jane Froman sings the many familiar songs for the entire soundtrack, though the lead is played by Miss Susan Hayward. Susan does an outstanding job of matching Jane's voice to her own movements and closely resembles Miss Froman in physical appearance. It is difficult to realize it is not really Susan singing herself! The orchestration behind Miss Froman is outstanding! Lush strings and full rich background music accompany her unmistakable voice. After this movie was released, Capitol Records released a so-called "soundtrack" album (LP) in the 1950s - however it is a studio version of all the songs in the movie. I have in my collection, both the original 12" LP and the 78RPM box-set recordings. The keen ear will note important differences on the record from the film.....and while it is generally a nice recording - it lacks the "uumph" of the real film music and is disappointing. They have since re-released this collection on CD. With today's technology, I see no reason why the real-film music can't be extracted and recorded onto CD directly from the movie soundtrack...but what do I know?! Watch this movie if you want good solid G-rated entertainment that does not have any of today's garbage in it! You won't be sorry - and (like me) you may wish you had lived during those days of great music, when people had pride and respect for their country and others. Unfortunately, I'm 46 so I missed that era entirely.
