Customer Reviews of Song O My Heart
Song O' My Heart: A Rare Treasure Remember that "Song O' My Heart" was filmed in 1929, in the infancy of sound recording for films. Just being able to see and hear the great John McCormack, in any form, is a wonder. Above all, McCormack's great warmth comes across. He was doubtless a great singing actor as well as a great singer. "I Hear You Calling Me," despite the age of the recording, reveals a voice of pure gold and a technique you will not hear from the much heralded "Three Tenors" or any of the other tenors pushing and straining their arias for our jaded contemporary tastes. I hesitate to recommend this gem to young people who are so easily bored by sentiment, but I do recommend this film to anyone old enough to appreciate a tug at the heartstrings. Thank God it is still possible to feel and appreciate a golden voice from the past, even if it is showcased in a simple story touched with just enough emotion to remind us what it meant to be human.
Atrocious sound on good movie
The movie is a good one. It sidesteps the phoniness of the usual "Irish" themed Hollywood studio movies ("Little Nelly Kelly" (MGM) comes to mind). Maureen O'Sullivan's dialogue is very stilted, but everyone else performs well, considering that this film comes from the first year of all-talking pictures. Especially John McCormack comes across well; his charm and amazing voice are on full desplay here. Borrowing this movie from the library turned me on to him. Here's the Problem, though : This edition (which is also the one I saw) is very disappointing in that not only is the picture quality not very good, but what's really devastating is that, the sound is thin, tinny, sour, and off-pitch?; just about as bad as you can imagine. I am used to the sonic limitations of early sound-on- film : that's not the problem here. The sound should not sound like this. I don't know why the sound is so bad. Are the only surviving sound elements in this poor a condition that they cannot be restored to a quality comparable with that of other contemporaneous films? If so that is a tragedy.
