I’m 76 yrs old and I watch every black and white films I can find. But this delightful gem I’d never seen. We will never get those day of innocence back, thank goodness we have these films to step back for a short time and remember.

All the Dianna Durbin films are wonderful. Especially the grand architectural sets help develop the story. Notice all the great staircases and the huge palaces great room. Kathleen Howard is gives a great performance as the Head Mistress at the school. She herself, earlier in her career was an opera singer. For you Fan Buffs...in the scene with the spinster teachers crying from 1:22:54 to 1:24:59 Was that Beulah Bondi wearing clear eyeglasses and Jesse Royce Landis? What a fantastic treat for us!!!! An all around great cast. An all around great movie.

Watched this film many times as a kid on a show called “ Million Dollar Movie” in New York on channel 9. They would play a movie at 4pm and 9 pm Monday_ Friday and 3 x a day on Saturday and Sunday. That’s how we learned to love old movies back in the 60’s. Durban led many young kids to appreciate classical singing.

I'm 69 years old and grew up in the Jersey suburbs. The "Million Dollar Movie" was a big deal. People would ask "What's on the MDM this week?". And I would watch the movies over & over again and memorize the dialog. Then act it out in our living room.

I'm in my mid 60's & truly appreciate your memories from your days back East. I'm a West Coast gal through n through. We learned to appreciate the classics, 1st in Español in Black & White, then in English, back in the 60's. I've loved these classics throughout & now that Technology has somewhat dampened our ability to have regular TV, I'm so grateful for DVD player, YT & Tubi. Bless everyone for sharing n peace be with us all. 🙏 "Isa"

A wonderful movie that cleverly follows the Cinderella fable. Ms Durbin was a huge movie star and this film shows why. She saved Universal Pictures from bankruptcy. But it is Kathleen Howard as Miss Wiggins who is the real treasure. A world famous opera star and then fashion editor, she is immortalized as WC Fields' nagging wife. She gets the last shot here--deservedly.
