    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Leopold Stokowski recorded the classical music in the film at the Philadelphia Academy of Music, using the Philadelphia Orchestra (of which he was still principal guest conductor), on a multi-channel sound system, the first time one was ever used to record music in a film. The musicians seen in the film, however, were L.A.-based players doing what was called "sideline" (seen but not heard, merely miming to a prerecorded soundtrack played by others).

    • Quotes

      Leopold Stokowski: [Patsy has come to apologize for telling a newspaper that Stokowski would be conducting her orchestra of jobless musicians] But why did you do it? You must have had a reason.

      Patricia "Patsy" Cardwell: Oh, yes! I had a hundred reasons! Would you like to hear them?

      Leopold Stokowski: I certainly would.

      Patricia "Patsy" Cardwell: [Goes to the door of his study and counts:] One! Two! Three! Four!

      [And Stokowski suddenly hears "Hungarian Rhapsody" as clear as a bell inside his own house! He and she go out onto his balcony overlooking the entryway. The 100 men are standing on the stairway, playing]

      Patricia "Patsy" Cardwell: Those are my reasons. I thought you'd like to hear them.

      [Stokowski listens until the piece is nearly over, and then starts conducting with his hands]

    Charming Deanna Durbin musical
    I can't say I'm a fan of Deanna Durbin, but I thought she was very charming and exuberant in "100 Men and a Girl", one of Deanna's biggest vehicles at the time. Deanna plays the daughter of an impoverished musician (Adolphe Menjou, who previously worked with another famous child star Shirley Temple in "Little Miss Marker"). Most of the plot revolves around how Deanna manages to hook up 100 unemployed musicians with a famous orchestra conductor. It may have dated by today's standards but it is worth catching for the music and Deanna's singing talents.
