Fast Film Reviews

Classic MGM spectacle is highlighted by remarkable re-enactment of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. What’s more, this romantic drama includes an engaging story as well. Young, classically-trained singer is plucked from obscurity and becomes a success. Complications arise when she is also offered a chance to sing with the Opera, in decidedly classier surroundings. Grand, but dated period film was a huge blockbuster in its day and it’s easy to see why. Nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture.
