I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

People are voting emotionally.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

"Interrupted Melody" is a fine biographical musical about Australian opera singer Marjorie Lawrence. The 1907 daughter of a butcher shop owner in rural Australia (Deans Marsh, 80 miles SW of Melbourne), Lawrence took to opera singing at a young age, and was a church soloist by age 10. She left Australia for Europe where she took professional lessons and was soon a major opera star. But then, at age 34 she was struck with polio, which left her unable to walk the rest of her life. Before that happened in 1941, she had met and married a New York physician, Dr. Thomas King. Although their marriage was stormy at times, they stayed together and he helped her adjust and recover from depression due to her polio. Lawrence returned to singing after 18 months, and performed some roles specifically redesigned for her to be seated or supported by props. During the last years of World War II she entertained wounded troops in hospitals – from her wheelchair, as shown in the film. She retired from opera in 1952 and later moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas. She died of heart failure at age 71 (Jan. 13, 1979) in a Little Rock, Arkansas, hospital. She was buried in Hot Springs. Lawrence wrote her autobiography in 1949, titled the same as this 1955 film. The screenwriters based the screenplay for this biopic on her life's story. According to an article in the "Australian Dictionary of Biography," Lawrence said that this 1955 movie was not true to her life. Indeed, the opening scenes show her on a farm in an open country. In reality, she was born in a village where her father was a butcher. The place, Deans Marsh is in in a lush area of Victoria, Australia, near forests and close to the ocean. Still, this film has some of the facts of Lawrence's life right, and it's an interesting look at a great opera singer. As with most musical biopics, the music that is in the film makes it worthwhile by itself. Lawrence did not do the singing for the picture. Apparently, she had lost some of her range by her late 40s. So, Eileen Farrell's singing is used. She appears, uncredited in the film, as the student of Madame Gilly, played by Ann Codee. Eleanor Parker is superb in the lead role as Lawrence. Whether or not her character was anything like the real Lawrence, Parker's interpretation of the singer is splendid. And interestingly, Parker herself could sing. She studied the music carefully for this film, practiced the songs and then sang those parts during the filming. So, no lip-syncing for this acting pro. MGM later dubbed in the more powerful voice of Farrell. Glenn Ford is fine as Dr. Thomas King. Roger Moore is good as Marjorie's brother, Cyril. Cecil Kellaway plays her dad and others contribute well to the story. While not a dynamic biopic, "Interrupted Melody" is a very good film with some excellent scenes of opera singing. Those who enjoy opera and historical musical films especially will enjoy this movie.

Interrupted Melody is a movie best enjoyed by older teens and up and those who are romantics at heart, who know a friend or loved one that is handicapped, or by those who love music. Eleanor Parker and Glenn Ford make the movie. They are very good. The musical numbers are ear candy. Just watch the movie for the ear candy alone. The movie moves along at a good clip. The movie's premise is that through love and support anyone can achieve their dream is brought to life by Eleanor Parker and Glenn Ford. However, in real life, it is not always the case. It is a movie for prime time or s weekend afternoon. Grab your popcorn and a soda. Relax. Enjoy!

I am a great-niece of Marjorie Lawrence. It's a very sad fact that Marjorie is best known outside of Australia. However, she was recently honored as one of 100 Australian Entertainers of the Century. It's also a bit of a shame that this movie is a Hollywood producer's interpretation of an American publisher's version of my Great-Aunt's life. The real family story is actually much more interesting. Auntie Marj never smoked a cigarette in her life - but it seems everyone smoked in the movies of the 50s. My mother and my aunt attended the world premiere here in Melbourne. I remember meeting Auntie Marj as a child in the 70s.

Eleanor Parker is one of my favorite actresses from the '40s and '50s and does a marvelous job here, lip-synching to perfection various Wagnerian opera arias (as well as Puccini and Verdi). The storyline is somewhat similar to that of Jane Froman's career in that both were singers who, although paralyzed, continued with their singing careers and entertained servicemen as well. Glenn Ford lends solid support as the understanding, long-suffering husband who is always there when she needs his moral support. Roger Moore has a small role as her brother.Everything moves smoothly under Curtis Bernhardt's direction. The opera segments are beautifully staged and filmed (in gorgeous technicolor, of course). Parker demonstrates her acting skills to the fullest and Eileen Farrell does a superb job on the vocal dubbing.Well worth your time--inspirational and enjoyable even if you're not an opera lover. Filmed in wide screen technique, it loses something on video showings.
