Beautiful Story, but Why a Musical
29 April 2020
A music-added remake of the 1939 drama, this weeper stars Peter O'Toole, who can't sing, and Petula Clark, who definitely makes up for him. Although it's a mystery to me why anybody felt the need to remake this movie with music, since none of the songs seem to remain with you after the movie ends. What remains is the same emotional punch, having to do not with the music but the love between the principal characters. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
