Eddy Duchin Story [DVD] [1956] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

A brilliant film,really enjoyed it great music,definitely recommend it for all music lovers of dance bands and love a good story ofMusicians,who gave us great music to listen and dance to.will watch it many times again,very touching to the heart in parts,will put it in my collection of other dvds in the great dance bands of the thirties ,fourties ,love these films got a few more to collect yet,Thanks for giving me the chance to buy and relive those memories of my younger days ,when real music was played,to dance too,

I love Tyrone Power, that is the only reason I bought this DVD, but even I had to laugh at the sight of him playing a young man straight out of college! Luckily it was only for a couple of scenes, but it really was ridiculous, as was the whole drama of Kim Novak's character being scared of the wind, what the hell that was all about, is anyone's guess. I remember watching the film years ago and think it was the best thing ever, but now I've re-watched it, it's probably the most wooden pile of tripe I've seen for ages, i still love Tyrone Power though.

This movie is great for anyone who longs for good music written in with a good (and true) story line.I speak of these things because I have been involved in performing with various size bands for many years, and (trust me) I know the difference between GOOD MUSIC. , well written and arranged, not like the awful stuff that we are suffering on our TV screens, with sub standard ..just into puberty...so called vocalists.The pianist for the movie was Carmen Cabellero,, (who actually knew the main actor..Tyrone Power ) ....Great stuff....James

Nothing wrong with the dvd which was well packed and delivered promptly. The story plot is a little datEed but still watchable.

Mention Eddie Duchin today and you'll be greeted with "Who" I saw this film years ago and even I didnt know who he was. He was a piano player with a difference. He could get more out of a piano than most people. His story is how he got to be a top entertainer and how he met his society wife and married and had a son and his wife died so he left his son to be raised by other people. When his son was about 9 it was pointed out to him that he better get to know him or else he would lose him. He got to know him and married again and the story goes on. All the way through is beautifully played music for piano. I could compare his playing with Liberace. They had a similar style. It is a good film and a good story and good music.

I love the movie. It’s my style. Today them doesn’t do films quite all special effect

Got as birthday present for dad he was over the moon loves the music from it

I saw this picture on 1960, I was 18 years old, so I was so impressed about the romantic intensity that I went back to the cinema to see it again. Sinse then I can't help remembering this touching and glorious story, chiefly because we are dealing with a true story. Oh! let me have my handkerchief again!!! Campos de Melo - Rio de Janeiro.
