Deanna Durbin

An informal socialist study of Deanna Durbin's twelve year motion picture career from a sophocratic or paternalist point of view, an enlightened point of view which combines, in equal proportion, cultural elitism and elitist socialism. Rejecting all that is populist, it is a study devoted to the Classical as expressed in the musical films of Deanna. As a book written for readers who have an operetta world-view, it is without notes or index, providing instead interesting diversions and digressions. The book will be complete in two Volumes. Volume One covers Deanna's motion picture career from 1936 to 1939. Hard-Cover. Square 8.5 Inch Size. 160,000 Words. 344 Pages. 36 Photographs. Annotated Bibliography. Copyright 2023.
