Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Despite its Larry Flynt-friendly title, Deanna Durbin is typically wholesome in the lavishly produced musical One Hundred Men and a Girl, which finds its heroine saving a fledgling orchestra led by financially challenged father Adolph Menjou, along with help from Leopold Stokowski. Not surprisingly, music is literally center stage for much of this delightful film; highlights include Stoki's batonless conducting of Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony and Deanna's winsome trilling of Mozart's "Alleluia." The resulting package earned its star a special 1938 Academy Award (for her "spirit and personification of youth") and took home an Oscar of its own for Charles Previn's score. --Steven Smith

Best Deanna Durbin film of all time! (2003-01-09)

Criminally neglected actress these days. A wonderful, joyous performance by her in a wonderful, joyous movie.

If you like Judy Garland You'll love Deanna (2000-06-15)

Deann Durbin and Judy Garland were very alike in ages and in the way that studios used tham when they were young. But Deanna has a more operetic quality to her voice, she in fact studied opera. In 100 men and a girl you get the typical 1930's under dog winning from under what seems unsurmountable odds with the hopes and dreams of a young girl to lead them on.
