An Enjoyable Film
6 June 2007
Not particularly accurate on detail (two examples: Tauber's list of many lovers did not feature a ballet dancer as suggested here; and, Rudolf Schock, as Tauber, sings O Paradis, an aria which, rather curiously, Tauber seems not to have included in his huge recorded output and may not have sung at all), but still a pleasure to see and hear because of the fine singing and sympathetic portrayal by Rudolf Schock of his great fellow singer. It is a pity that cost constraints for German companies in the decade following the Second World War did not permit the making of The Richard Tauber Story in colour, better to display the Austrian scenery and so enhance the film's appeal.
