Movie Reviews of The Song of the Lark
Movie Review: --------Good Story with Beautiful Music and Singing----------
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a recommendation from a friend and I have to say it was most enjoyable!
Thea Kronborg , a lovely and talented young Swedish American woman grows up as a gifted pianist. Her life revolves around her interest in music and she knows she has to find a way to obtain lessons and leave her rural home in Colorado. Her life is music and she also has a lovely singing voice. Her parents help her to take piano lessons and she herself earns money by teaching piano and also by singing at funerals. She has a boyfriend, and her life seems full of hope for the future; however, she still doesn't see a way to get the formal advanced training that she needs.
When a tragedy happens in her life, she is bereft, but out of sadness, something good happens and she is able to leave home and take lessons with two wonderful music teachers. Doors open for her in ways that she could never imagine, but in her personal life, she had some tough lessons to learn.
Alison Elliott plays Thea and an outstanding performance is given by Arliss Howard who plays Dr. Archie, a family doctor who serves as Thea's mentor. This Masterpiece Theater production is based on a story by Willa Cather.
