"The first and only Deanna Durbin movie to be filmed in Color by Technicolor is further noteworthy thanks to a beautiful score, his last, by the legendary Jerome Kern ("Showboat") with lyrics by E.Y. Harburg ("The Wizard of Oz"). It's Deanna Goes West! As Caroline Frost, the daughter of a wealthy East Coast senator (Ray Collins) she is determined to marry US Cavalry officer Robert Latham (David Bruce) against her father's wishes. When Latham is posted to California, Caroline is not far behind, hitching up her wagon and braving the wild, wild west - on the way encountering conmen, prospectors, bandits, Indians and a card shark (Robert Paige), who is destined to steal her heart away from the Cavalry"--Container. |
