      Metropolitan

      1935 1h 20m Musical List
      Reviews In this musical, opera singer Ghita Galin (Alice Brady) leaves the Metropolitan Opera and starts her own company, enlisting unknown singers like the talented but inexperienced Tom Renwick (Lawrence Tibbett). Tom brings along a new friend, Anne (Virginia Bruce), and an old conductor (George Marion Sr.). However, despite their progress on a new production, Ghita is unpredictable and leaves the company when her voice falters. Now the others must find a large sum of money for the show to continue.

      Gus McCarthy Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald) That the intelligentsia, those who understand and appreciate the worth of finely rendered class music, will respond enthusiastically is hardly to be doubted. Nov 19, 2020 Full Review Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine Lawence Tibbett is one of those singers who should be heard and not seen. Apr 20, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine The song naturally is superb, and the story is sufficiently lively, thanks to the comedy antics of Alice Brady.

      Audience Member the first movie for the newly combined 20th century fox Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Strictly for Opera fans. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Lawrence Tibbett doesn't have much in the way of movie star presence alhough he sings beautifully but the real strength of this antique is in the supporting cast. Alice Brady is marvelous as an over the top diva and as with many old studio films wonderful character actors pop up and disappear after a scene or two. Here Jane Darwell and Walter Brennan are in one cute scene as a couple who run a road side cafe who have to send their kids to fetch anything that's ordered. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
