VHS Movie Reviews of Can't Help Singing [VHS]

Movie Review: Technicolor never looked so good!
Summary: 4 Stars

Deanna Durbin's first and only movie in complete three-strip Technicolor was the 1945 box office smash CAN'T HELP SINGING. Deanna dazzles as a headstrong young woman who follows her heart and hitches up her wagon to a cross-country settlement convoy.

Caroline Frost (Deanna Durbin) is the beautiful teenage daughter of an important East Coast senator. She's in love with Cavalry officer Latham (David Bruce) and means to marry him, much to the annoyance of her family who have tried, quite unsuccessfully, to keep Caroline away from his company. When Latham's regiment moves to California, Caroline hitches her wagon to the settlement convoy, but later loses her heart to a handsome cardshark (Robert Paige).

CAN'T HELP SINGING is a real treat for Deanna fans, firstly because it offers viewers their only chance to see her in full blazing colour; and secondly for it's beautiful score, one of the last for composer Jerome Kern (with lyrics provided by E.Y. Harburg). CAN'T HELP SINGING earned an Academy Award nomination for the song "More and More"; the rest of the tunestack includes "Can't Help Singing" and "Any Moment Now" (arguably the best song in the entire movie).

Mostly filmed outdoors and using no process shots, CAN'T HELP SINGING is in itself a remarkable early milestone of Technicolor photography. The bold colours contrast dramatically with real blue skies and vivid locations, including the Grand Canyon. Deanna Durbin is attractively costumed by Walter Plunkett (her final gown is a real showstopper). The supporting cast includes Akim Tamiroff, Leonid Kinskey, Ray Collins, June Vincent and Clara Blandick.
