Movie Reviews of DEEP IN MY HEART
Movie Review: Ferrer's Acting and Romberg's Music...... EXCEPTIONAL!
Summary: 5 Stars
Music (like time) changes constantly and continues to evolve (or devolve) with each generation. In the 1920s when Romberg produced his most successful plays, the Broadway show was in its early or formative stages (no pun intended). Operettas were popular in Vienna and Europe producing outstanding music in formulaic plays. Strauss (the younger), Smetana, Gilbert & Sullivan, Lehar and Kalman, to name a few, were hugely gifted and loved in their respective countries since they were giants of their craft. Their music is still loved today and classic.
Romberg, who studied engineering and musical composition in Vienna ultimately gravitated to the USA and produced musical plays such as The Student Prince, Blossom Time, The New Moon and The Desert Song. His music was delicious, well orchestrated, harmonious and a joy for singers and audience alike. His music was based on the Operetta form as were most shows on Broadway in the 1920s and early 1930s. His music is still loved today and classic.
One of the greatest actors of his time both on the screen and on Broadway was Jose Ferrer. He was not considered by some, to be one of the nicest human beings in real life; but true or false, that is none of our concern. More importantly, absolutely no one could fault his dramatic performances and achievements. He was the perfect acting chameleon. He portrayed Toulouse-Lautrec in Moulin Rouge, Cyrano de Bergerac (Oscar performance) and in this movie, Sigmund Romberg.
The combination of Romberg's music and Ferrer is an unbeatable match. The movie was a potpourri of Romberg's songs with an excellent cast and a parade of the matchless singing and dancing talent from the MGM Studio system. The story of Romberg's life is "Hollywoodized" but who cares? It is great entertainment.
The music of many of our country's great early composers is becoming progressively move difficult to find. By all means find this DVD and add it to you collection.
Summary of DEEP IN MY HEART
This daring musical biography of composer Sigmund Romberg whose music graced scores of stage shows and a dozen films before his death in 1951 features compositions by Romberg himself and sparkles with the talent of dancers such as Gene Kelly Cyd Charisse and Ann Miller. Howard Keel and Jane Powell (who teamed up memorably the same year with director Stanley Donen in SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS) and Rosemary Clooney add their voices to the tale as do other famous singers while Jos Ferrer plays the part of Romberg. Romberg moved to New York City in 1909 and became a conductor in a restaurant orchestra then was hired by Jacob Shubert to be his staff composer writing about 40 scores for musical shows. The operettas THE STUDENT PRINCE and THE DESERT SONG made Romberg s name.Though DEEP IN MY HEART is a fine tribute to a marvelous man of music the film is known more for its cast thick with stars of singing and dancing--and for being the only film in which the Kelly brothers Gene and Fred dance together.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSICALS/MUSICALS Rating: NR UPC: 883929002795 Manufacturer No: 1000035708Similar DVD Movies
