MGM brings A Song Is Born to DVD in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The Technicolor film looks pretty good on the whole, but, alas, the movie itself failed to make a good impression on me. Three different mono stereo soundtracks are available on the DVD (very clear English, muddled Spanish, and tinny French) with subtitles in English and Spanish.
Even as nice as it is to see the jazz-meisters of yesteryear all working together with their instruments in order to subdue the bad guys in the movie’s climax, it’s still not enough to warrant sitting through all of A Song Is Born. Stick to Ball Of Fire instead.
