Movie Reviews of The Eddy Duchin Story
Movie Review: Clap at a movie screen?
Summary: 5 Stars
Do people actually clap at a movie screen?
In 1956, I experienced the tingling feeling of a full-house movie theatre audience reaction which has not repeated for me in these 49+ years since: it was a clapping, partially-standing ovation to the "Chopsticks" scene in THE EDDY DUCHIN STORY. People actually standing and/or clapping at a movie screen!
I've never forgotten that experience. A thoroughly enjoyable tear-jerker movie, with "Chopsticks" perhaps as the The Best Scene of All Time.
Movie Review: A classic film portrayal of romance and heartache
Summary: 5 Stars
The Eddy Duchin Story is based on a real life person. These are often my favorte. You live through his early years, his tribulations, his tragic romance and heartache. You may need some tissues to see it through. A classic by any definition. A must have, especially for Tyrone Power fans. Kim Novak is a pleasant surprise and defines her roll well enough. Such a pity her career was shortened by a prejudiced society. Bottomline, get it; but don't forget the tissues.Movie Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie tells the history of Eddy Duchin, a famous pianist.
The music is performed by Carmen Cavallaro, so that you can see his impressive technique in action.
The scene that shows that bad tuned piano (when Duchin was serving in WWII) and a boy (that plays with him) remembers his son demonstrates the extreme versatility of Duchin and shows some facets of his tragic life.
Movie Review: Gift for a Friend
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for my friends father from Mexico. He is a well traveled individual who had been wanting this movie for quite a while. It brought him to tears when he saw the movie. It is a timeless classic that my friends whole family enjoyed. Delivery was fast and the quality was great. Thanks.Movie Review: Eddy Duchin Story
Summary: 5 Stars
As my friend watched with me, who shared the viewing for the first time since it was made, the quote was "Why don't they make more movies like this. We followed up with the Glenn Miller Story.
The music is superb!
