I'll Be Yours

It appears that Universal was scrambling to get something in place for their golden meal ticket Deanna Durbin after she had her first baby and took some time off. After an hour, it is difficult to tell what the plot is. In the beginning, however, it seems predictable. A girl from a small town is going to NYC to make it big in the theater. During the movie, two scenes are borrowed from "First Love": Deanna showcasing her singing talents at a party that she sneaks into and then wins the affections of the millionaire who gave it, and then later on a dance with her prince charming the same way with her whirling around in a beautiful full gown. The worst thing they did to Deanna in this film was give her huge dark eyebrows which took something away from her natural beauty. I was glad to see that she said in her interview years later that this film was terrible.
