Deanna and Donald O'Connor - now that's a great acting team.

[Peter]

It would of been nice to see Donald O'Connor in more of Deanna's movies - he was a great entertainer.

I absolutely love The Turntable Song, performed by Mary Collins (DD) at the beginning of the movie!

[Jane]

Johnny Green did a wonderful job writing the music and words for The Turntable Song.

I've noticed that the movie version of the song has different lyrics from an audio recording I have heard.

According to Charles David, "Something In The Wind" is one of the films that Deanna doesn't watch. I would imagine that she didn't think the script was very good, although she would of enjoyed working with John Dall and Donald O'Connor during the production!!

[Sarah]

What do you guys think of Deanna's "new personality" and her matching hairstyle for the film??

[Jane]

I wasn't crazy about the "new" Deanna Durbin. She was already admired by the public for her sweet personality and gorgeous looks so I don't think the change was needed.

Yes, Deanna was still admired by her many fans, but she was no longer at the height of her career and her films weren't as popular like they were when Joe Pasternak was her producer.

[Tony]

Universal were paying Deanna huge amounts of money under contract. I'm guessing it may of been the Studio's idea to try something new to attract the patrons to the theatres to see a revitalized Deanna??

[Peter]

I think the best part of the film would have to be when Deanna sings "The Turntable Song" at the radio station at the beginning. She looks like a million dollars and the song is really entertaining!

Notice how Grandma Reed correctly calls the butler Bronson, but Donald is heard to call him Bronston.

[Jane]

The IMDB has the butler's name as Bronston, but they also have other mistakes on their site.
