The Flame(1947)You hear gunshots in a room,John Carroll walks out and goes to light a cigarette.then you hear BANG.The victim shoots John.He lights his smoke as if nothing had happened.
-
For The Love Of Mary(1948)was Deannas final film.She sadly,left Hollywood and never returned.

Im a big Deanna Durbin Fan.
My favorite,Christmas Holiday.(1944)Deanna,Gene Kelly and Robert Siomak seem strange together,but its still a Grat Noir with Deanna singing,Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year and Irving Berlins Always.
Other good ones.Amazing MRS Holiday(1943)
Cant Help Singing(1944)Deanna in a Western?You bet.Great Film.Jerome Kern score.
My least favorite.Three Smart Girls(1936)A little on the foolish side.The songs?Sort of weak.

LT Charles Mason(Dean Harens)on leave gets a Dear John letter from his girlfriend.Charles meets nightclub singer Jackie Lamount(Deanna Durbin)with a sad story to tell.
Jackie had once been married to Robert Manette(Gene Kelly)whos doing time for murder.Roberts mom(Gale Sondergaard)stupidly blames Jackie for her sons problem.
Charles and Jackie are falling in love,but they soon get word Robert has escaped.
Not a typical Deanna Durbin or Gene Kelly film,but its still good.

Deanna sings Always and Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year.

Story of a widow(Ann Harding)who brought up three sons(George Brent,George Raft,and Randolph Scott)Ann must find them before Christmas Eve or she will lose everything to a shifty nephew(Reginald Denny).
George B is a playboy down on his luck.
George Raft is a wanted criminal promised a pardon if he can find a nazi war criminal in South America.
Randolph Scott is a washed up rodeo rider.
Good cast,Joan Blondell,Virginia Grey,Joseph Sawyer,etc
The reason why I put it here is the George Raft segment is in the Film Noir mode.

Since You Went Away was my personal favorite.
Love Letters and Shadow Of A Doubt were good,too.
