Making her first film appearance since 1941, Deanna Durbin plays the title role in The Amazing Mrs. Holliday. Truth to tell, however, there is no Mrs. Holliday: it's the guise assumed by idealistic missionary Ruth (Durbin) to sneak a group of Chinese war orphans into the US. With the help of ship's steward Timothy (Barry Fitzgerald), Ruth poses as the wife of a wealthy shipping magnate who was lost at sea. This enables her to safely sequester the orphans in the Holliday family mansion until she can cook up her next scheme. But things begin to unravel when Ruth falls in love with her "husband"'s grandson (Edmond O'Brien)-and, of course, when Mr. Holliday (Harry Davenport) himself turns up alive and well. The Amazing Mrs. Hollidaywas originally intended as Durbin's dramatic debut, and originally directed by Jean Renoir, but Universal insisted upon retakes and added songs. Though virtually all of Renoir's completed footage was retained, final directorial credit was bestowed upon Bruce Manning, the film's producer.

  1. Very good old movie 5 Star Review

    Posted by on Oct 10th 2024

    Very good Deanna Durbin movie. Excellent print.

  2. The beginning of the end for Deanna Durbin 3 Star Review

    Posted by on Jan 30th 2023

    after a year's leave from filmmaking, Deanna Durbin came back with this film, which was orginally directed by
    Jean Renoir, who quit the film. This was really the first Deanna Durbin film that was not good, an indication that the "writing was on the wall" for her film career, although her movie career still lasted about another six years. Although she sings quite a bit in this film, it is a dreary affair.

  3. Deanna Durbin as a mom is something else! 5 Star Review
