Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - one of Deanna's last movies; an absolute gem
In BECAUSE OF HIM (1946), a delightful backstage comedy, Deanna Durbin was joined by two of her most popular male co-stars: Charles Laughton ("It Started with Eve"), and Franchot Tone ("Nice Girl?", "His Butler's Sister").

Based on a story entitled "Catherine the Last" by Edmund Beloin and Sig Herzig, Deanna plays Kim Walker, a young waitress in New York who wishes to become a serious stage actress. She uses an autograph belonging to esteemed Broadway actor John Sheridan (Charles Laughton) ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun Deanna Film
The always wonderful Deanna Durbin turns this mix of comedy and music into delightful and charming fun. It was the second time she and Charles Laughton would work together, leaving us a memory of what makes the movies great. Durbin once more exudes that something special that made her the great star she was.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - What a waste of great actors!!!
The only really bad Deanna Durbin film I have seen so far. The director must have thought "Well, everyone loves the actors and finds them sympathatic, so I don't have to care about anything".

Of course the writer of the play hates her (as everyone would). Yes, they hate each other and then they love each other suddenly. Nobody knows why. Nobody sees when ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Because of Him
Deanna Durbin is teamed up again with two great actors: (Charles Laughton - It Started with Eve) and (Franchot Tone - His Butler's Sister). Wonderful story about a girl who wants to act with the Great Actor-John Sheridan(Charles Laughton). She is very sneeky in getting his ok. The Play's Writer, Paul Taylor(Franchot Tone) will have nothing to do with her or the play. I think that Laughton's teaching her to faint is one of the best parts, and another favorite is when she has to place her head on his shoulder, ... Read More
