Reviews for 100 Men and a Girl
Ever so cloying as it serves up dollops of sweetness, but it's entertaining, satisfyingly fairy tale-like and put over with much skill.
Deanna Durbin's most popular film, which stars conductor Leopold Stokowski, was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture and Story (Hans Kraly), winning the Score Oscar for Charles Previn (Andre's father), head of Universal's Music Department.
