Deanna Durbin is going to be on TCM this evening, 5-3-10 in Can't Help Singing at 8:00PM EDT.
With music and lyrics by Jerome Kern and E.Y. Harburg as an added attraction, some fans say this is the movie that made them devotees of the singer. Directed by Frank Ryan at Universal, and set during the Gold Rush days in California, the supporting cast of this Technicolor movie leaves this character actor nutcase all atwitter with keen anticipation: Akim Tamiroff, Leonid Kinskey, Ray Collins and Thomas Gomez along with bits from Irving Bacon, Chester Conklin and Iron Eyes Cody! Others in the cast are the boring Robert Paige and the very lovely June Vincent.
Laura of Laura's Misc. Musings has a nicely balanced account of the movie here.
