Let's Make Music (1940)
Let's Make Music (1941)
I stumbled upon this little gem of a movie just as I was about to go to bed late one night. Already a fan of old black and white films I decided to tape it and watch the next day however, my attention was suddenly caught by the very handsome Bob Crosby,which made me even more curious as I didn't even know that Bing had a brother. So, I ditched the tape and sat there for the duration of the film....and I was not disappointed at all. I was completely captivated by this charming little movie with its unusual storyline and great personable characters but mostly for its fantastic music. I was already an old devotee of jazz, swing and big band music but had forgotten how addictive it is. So of course, not only was I now smitten with the cute and adorable Bob Crosby but I fell in love with big band music all over again. This film is not to be dismissed lightly, it has something for everyone in it and is a lovely feel good movie that puts a smile on your face just by the music numbers alone. Personally, I couldn't stop tapping my feet when the band started to play and was itching to get up and dance. Wishing I had taped the movie after all so that I could watch it again and again.

I accidentally stumbled across this little film whilst up late studying one night. As I am already a huge fan of the old black and white classics, particularly those from England, this film quickly caught my eye. I was immediately taken with the beautiful scenery of the gorgeous little quintessential English village however, I was also intrigued by the unusual plot and the feisty characters. Naturally I was also drawn to June Thorburn's beauty and the romance between her and her sweetheart that was being conducted in secret against the backdrop of their warring families. I loved this film. It was simple yet quirky and delightfully refreshing. I really hope that this film is released on DVD as it is a lovely little classic that should not be banished to the vault to be forgotten forever.
