3.0 out of 5 stars Great music, January 5, 2006
This review is from: I Dream Too Much [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Forget the plot, Henry Fonda and the rest of the cast. Listen to Lily Pons sing "The Jockey on the Carousel". Unforgettable! The blues number "I got Love" is amusing too as Pons's French accent mangles the lyrics but that last note she hits is extraordinary. Jerome Kern wrote the songs and the score should be better remembered. There is also an early appearance by Lucille Ball who is shrill and funny.

Thank goodness we have this film memorial of Lily Pons.

4.0 out of 5 stars AMUSING LITTLE COMEDY., August 29, 2002
This review is from: I Dream Too Much [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Husband Fonda pushes his wife, Pons into a singing career. Although reluctant, she gives it her best shot, and becomes a great success. This sours Fonda, a struggling opera composer, so Pons uses her influence in order to get Henry's opera turned into a hit musical comedy... Once this is accomplished, Pons retires from the spotlights in order to raise a family. in Because MGM was successful in making Grace Moore a movie star, RKO wanted to follow suit with their contract player, French soprano Lily Pons: the result wasn't entirely in vain. This film featured up-and-coming 30 year-old Fonda in his first non-bucolic screen role. In the minor part of Gwendolyn Dilley (!) Lucy had her second featured-player role & 20 years later she would buy RKO studios!

5.0 out of 5 stars I am an american movie classic freak., March 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: I Dream Too Much [VHS] (VHS Tape)
When I first saw the movie of "I DREAM TOO MUCH" back in 70's,Lily Pons inspired me to make believe I can be someday then ten years later I became a dancer,actor because of her. Even though I'm in my 30's now so that mean I was 14 years old when I saw that movie.
