- QuizThis is Deanna Durbin's only Technicolor vehicle. Unfulfilled plans to showcase her in color, proposed between 1938-53, included these eventually produced films: Il primo bacio (1939) (which starred her in black and white), Il fantasma dell'opera (1943) (Susanna Foster in Technicolor), Up in Central Park (1948) (in black and white), La corte di re Artù (1949) (Rhonda Fleming in Technicolor), Sulle ali del sogno (1953) (Patrice Munsel in Technicolor), Baciami kate! (1953) (Kathryn Grayson in Anscocolor), Il principe studente (1954) (Ann Blyth in Anscocolor) and Song of Norway (1970) (Florence Henderson in Color by DeLuxe). As reported by A.H. Weiler in "The New York Times" on 8/3/1947, Deanna Durbin was being offered a black-and-white filming in Britain of Il masnadiero (1953), which ultimately featured Dorothy Tutin portraying Polly Peachum in Technicolor.

Miss McLean: [to Latham] You know the first time I saw you, you were riding in the park on a beautiful white steed. It was love at first sight. I'm convinced now it was the horse.

Recensione in evidenza
You don't need to be a Deanna Durbin fan to find this film delightful. It should appeal to anyone who enjoys traditional musicals like "Oklahoma" and "Showboat".
Can't Help Singing is filled with humor and wit, played with a wink to the audience and genuine gusto--not dated in the least. Akim Tamaroff is especially funny; you can clearly see how he was the model for "Boris Badinov" in the "Bullwinkle" cartoons.
The songs are first rate; Kearn's melodies are beautiful and Harburg's lyric to "Californiay" is full of wit, creativity, and surprises; his other lyrics are well done, but nothing special.
Another layer of delight and interest to someone who knows about the history of movie musicals, like myself, is how far ahead of it's time this film is. The large majority of it is filled outdoors, a lot of it on location. This is unique and innovative in an era when virtually all musicals were filmed inside sound stages with some use of the studio back lot. One of the musical numbers features Durbin in outdoor locations which vary from shot to shot, while she continues to sing seamlessly. This is something that became common a decade or more later, but certainly pioneering in 1944.
Durbin and Paige are both fine singers, most likable, adept at playing the light humor their roles call for. This is a film that should be much better known and appreciated.
