Spring Song

Brilliant in the film ' While I Live ' I have wanted to see Carol Raye in another film, and as luck would have it Talking Pictures obliged by showing this gem of a film at six in the morning. I hope they show it to others later in the day as Raye is worth it. Set both at the end of WW2 and at the beginning of the 20th Century she plays both mother and daughter, and the story I will not give away. A beautiful woman she acts to perfection and sings equally well, and there are fortunately songs to be sung. Hans May composed the film score and that too should be remembered. She also worked with Hans May on ' Waltz Time ' and maybe that can be found as well as the other films she made. Innocence is rare in cinema and this film has it. Well worth getting up for.
