"First Love" is a entirely enchanting and romantic hollywood version of Cinderella. The main character Connie Harding (Deanna Durbin) is going home to live with her Aunt and Uncle after finishing boarding school. Her rich and spoiled relatives really do not care for Connie and treat her as there personal servant... asking her to do many things.. which she does.. feeling obligated for letting her live with them. When everyone is invited to a major social event... Connie is overjoyed.. feeling she is being accepted finally... but her dreams are crushed when her jealous cousin Barbara sees to it that she cant go. With the aid of her kindly uncle, and adoring house servants, Connie makes it to the ball and meets her Prince Charming.
I LOVED this movie... the story is very simple but effective. Deanna Durbin is perfect for the part, showing youthful innocence and sweet compassion. She has a fantastic voice which she demonstrates several times though the movies scores. This is a great valentines day movie... that everyone can enjoy. (5.0/6.0)
