5.0 out of 5 stars
Breathtaking!!!, March 11, 2003
This review is from: Can't Help Singing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Beautiful scenery, memorable songs, and a great cast headed by Deanna Durbin and Robert Page make this a wonderful movie to watch again and again. Durbin plays the rich daughter of a senator who runs away to good old California in search of her army boyfriend (David Bruce) who's really only interested in her money and prestige. But along the way comes tall, ruggedly handsome Robert Page to the rescue! It's a love-hate relationship between Page and Durbin at first, but in the end, love conquers all!! This movie is a must own for anyone who loves fun, springtime musicals!!! Gorgeous outfits too by the way.

Glorious Technicolor Kern musical with Durbin at peak, July 23, 1999
This review is from: Can't Help Singing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Despite Maltin's tepid review, this is a glorious feast for the eyes - ravishing outdoor cinematography in radiant Technicolor. Kern's last original film score is short but a beaut - from the infectious title song through CALIFORNIAY - an attempt to do another "Oklahoma!", there are love songs, book songs, comic songs. Only half a dozen but well written and gloriously sung by Ms. Durbin at her peak. Her only color film. Oscar noms for Best Song and Best Original Score.

Delightful musical in glorious Technicolor!, October 7, 1999
This review is from: Can't Help Singing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This film is a highly enjoyable picture about a headstrong young woman in the nineteenth century, who runs away from home in the East and joins a wagon train heading West to find her army officer boyfriend. Instead she falls for the cowboy who protects her on the trip ... The score is one of Jerome Kern's best, beautifully arranged, sung and recorded; the number "More and More" was nominated for the 1945 Oscar. Miss Durbin is enchanting and the color print excellent with a clear, beautiful soundtrack. Great quality video too. I looked round at the other viewers and everyone was smiling. What more can I say?
