4.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia, September 1, 2004

Susan Emert (Tamarac, Fl United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fabulous Dorseys (DVD)
I remember watching this movie as a child at my grandparent's house.
I loved the music. The acting was so-so but let's face it. The Dorsey's are not known as actors.
The premise of the movie is quite believable and the music is so typical of the 40's. I love all the movies from that decade.
It's just a good film. Enjoyable and will leave you with a smile on your face. A far cry from today's horrible and violent films. They don't make them like this any more and they should.
If you get to see it, just sit back and enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good movie but I wish the story went further, March 10, 2007
This review is from: The Fabulous Dorseys (DVD)
This is a great movie that actually features the Dorsey's themselves. The movie tells the story of Jimmie and Tommy Dorsey growing up and their start to the music business. The story is good and the music is, of course, great. My only complaint is that I wish the story would have featured more about their career and less about how the two couldn't get along and so they went their separate ways until their father died when they made up. It's still a good movie and I do recommend it but if you're like me in wanting to learn more about the career you might actually prefer The Glenn Miller story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quality of picture a negative, April 17, 2009
This review is from: Fabulous Dorseys (DVD)
I am a collector of the early movies. The stories and music and acting usually are so much better than the average movie today.

This story of the Dorseys was good. The quality of the picture, however, was as if a Dvd was made off of a VHS. This should not be.
