Movie Reviews of Till the Clouds Roll By (Remastered Edition)
Movie Review: Till the Clouds Roll By 1946
Summary: 5 Stars
Till the couds Roll by begins with a glorious , musical-within-a-musical recreation of 1927 opening of Jerome Kern (1885-1945)
Broadway smash "Show boat" and bookeds itself with a grand finale that has Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) singing "ol' man river" , the show boat number ol'blue eyes would reprise throughout his career . From start to finish , this glittery biopic about renowed stage-and-screen composer kern , played by Robert Walker (1918-1951) features 25 stars and nearly equal number of kern tunes . Judy Garland (1922- 1969) ask "who" to a beavy top-hatted admires : Dinah Shore (1916-1994) hautingly recalls "The Last Time I saw Paris 1954" and Lena Horne (1917 - ) just "Cant Help Lovin 'dat man" . So many great stars , So many great songs . Cant help loving them all . High Quality Transfer . Features not Remastred . Recommended
Summary of Till the Clouds Roll By (Remastered Edition)
Hollywood's 1940s craze for composer biographies did not yield many masterpieces, and Till the Clouds Roll By is one of the weaker efforts in the bunch. Robert Walker tries gamely to suggest the decency of Jerome Kern but is defeated by a sluggish story line pairing him with a crotchety mentor (Van Heflin). As a collection of freestanding production numbers devoted to Kern's songs, however, the movie has appeal. It begins with almost 20 minutes of Showboat (including Lena Horne's plaintive reading of "Can't Help Lovin' That Man") and the hits just keep on coming. Judy Garland, who appears in a few scenes as stage star Marilyn Miller, contributes "Look for the Silver Lining" and a Gatsby-esque production number on "Who?" Her songs were staged by then-hubby Vincente Minnelli. Other highlights include a young Angela Lansbury, still with baby fat, singing "How'd You Like to Spoon with Me?" Lucille Bremer, a leggy starlet who never quite caught on, plays Kern's protégé. She spins a delightful duet with Van Johnson on "I Won't Dance," two redheads capering with gusto. It all ends with another splashy theatrical montage, climaxing in Frank Sinatra's take on "Ol' Man River." That might sound like a strange idea, but Ol' Blue Eyes clearly loves the song (he would return to it often in his career) and is in beautiful voice. Despite being a lavish MGM production, Till the Clouds fell out of copyright and into the public domain, so print quality (and even running time) can be variable. --Robert HortonSimilar DVD Movies
