T.F.S. Something In The Wind

The Toronto Film Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and enjoyment of film and movies.

In this romantic comedy, Deanna Durbin, plays Mary a lovely female disc jockey, just trying to make it big in her career.  Her life is turned upside down, when a millionaire's grandson mistakes Mary for her Aunt... who was dating her grandfather.  Thinking that Mary was having a scandalous relationship with his late grandfather... the boy tries to get Mary to sign papers stating that nothing happened.   Mary finds this infuriating and so decides to teach the boy a lesson... causing much grief.. but also romance as the two fall for each other in spite of themselves.

Deanna Durbin once again shines as her tremendous voice captures peoples hearts.  Although I didn't like this movie as much as First Love...  I found it enjoyable and fun to watch none the less.  It was interesting to see the juxtaposition from one of Durbin's first films... to one of her last.  I definitely feel the need to catch some more though... having seen these two.  (4.0/6.0)
