The beginning of the end for Deanna Durbin

Posted by Philip Shultz on Jan 30th 2023

after a year's leave from filmmaking, Deanna Durbin came back with this film, which was orginally directed by
Jean Renoir, who quit the film. This was really the first Deanna Durbin film that was not good, an indication that the "writing was on the wall" for her film career, although her movie career still lasted about another six years. Although she sings quite a bit in this film, it is a dreary affair.
