All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

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 brings her usual elegance and intensity to the portrayal of Australian Opera Diva, Marjorie Lawrence. Glenn Ford is her supportive, yet human, husband; their love story is not your standard schmaltzy Hollywood fare. If you like opera, you'll enjoy this film as it includes scenes from many great soprano roles - especially Wagnerian, not just Puccini/Verdi as you usually see in movies - although those are there, too.This is a great 'Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea' film that will make you feel good.

I saw "Interrupted Melody" in 1995 or 1996 in Salzburg when I was 15 or 16 years old. It impressed me so much, that music was my great and only love for many years. I never forgot Eleanor Parker as Marjorie Lawrence. Now the youngest of my 4 children lives in Vienna and she is a very great opera-fan, nearly every day she visits the standing-place of the Vienna Staatsoper... I hope so much to get a video of "Interrupted Melody", that we can see this great and lovely film together.

The film does a fine job with the crippling illness of Lawrence and her comeback onstage, but most notable are the performances by the stars. Glenn Ford and Eleanor Parker were never better. Just superb. The scene where she tried to commit suicide and Ford stopped her, broke down, and asked God for help is magnificent and a must-see. Ford and Parker should be well-remembered as excellent actors.
