Comedy Opera At Its Best: A Must Have
There are several reasons why you should buy this DVD live performance of Donizetti's "The Daughter Of The Regiment" from 1974 at the Wolf Trap. First of all, Beverly Sills stars as the best comic heroine Marie, delivers absolute comedy and sings beautifully, and Beverly Sills performances are rare on DVD or video - only La Traviata and Donizetti's Roberto Devereux are available. Secondly, this ...

"La Fille" a delight for the eyes and the ears
Marvelous singing, fun to watch, wonderful acting and great comic timing by Natalie Dessay, 9 high Cs by Juan Diego Florez. If you want to buy only one bel canto opera buffa, get this one.

The Monstrous Regiment of Women
As a Pastor, I find this video as a clarion call for the Church to repent of it's errors in both tolerating and promulgating feminism, and to return to the Biblical mandate of Christian women seeking to follow Romans 12:1-2 and standing against the tide of the world and its ways.

An outstanding and interesting performance of this comique opera
This is an outstanding performance of the "Daughter of the Regiment", a comedy-opera by Donizetti. Juan Diego Florez excels in his performance of Tonio, introducing his own interpretation of the role. In addition Patrizia Ciofi excels in using her voice and stage play. All in all this is an excellent performance. The conversion of the story to more modern times of WWII introduces a bit of ...

Colourful and vocally stunning Fille!
It must have been quite a challenge to mount this French Fille production in the heart of Italy, La Scala. It's like selling Italian olive oil to Greeks and probably the reason the audience didn't seem to enjoy it as much as I did. I found both the garish Zeffirelli production and the singing wonderful with one exception; Mariella Devia whom I found phenomenal. I lost count of the number of ...

Sutherland an absolute delight as Marie!
This live performance of La fille du régiment was made roughly 15 years after Sutherland's celebrated commercial recording of the opera with Pavarotti. She was just short of 60 years old at the time of this performance and was at the time enjoying a sort of renaissance of renewed strength and vigor in her voice. I saw her in four performances of Anna Bolena in Houston just two months prior to ...

A great film
Not being a Civil War "buff," but someone who enjoys Civil War media, I found the film both entertaining and educational. The compelling storyline and interesting cinematography captures the journey of a simple teacher turned soldier effectively and gives the viewer of a sense of not just his individual part in the war, but the journey of his unit and the role it played in the reunifaction of ...

This DVD is defective.
I bought three different, new DVDs and it does not have "Make Peace or Die" on it. It has a Marilyn Monroe documentary. Very strange. I pointed this out to Amazon and did not get any answer. Too bad because I would really like to see "Make Peace or Die".

Powerful, inspiring, and relevent- a WWII buff must see
Moving account of one of the most important parachute infantry regiments, the 507th- whose fanfare has had to wait 60 years to arrive with the degree of respect and notoriety that it deserves. I have watched this film more than a few times and still cannot get through it without shedding a tear. The real life band of brothers telling their stories in their own words when brought together for ...

This is what cinema is all about
=== The soil of Burma is red === Spirits exhausted, hopes stagnant... The lingering after-effects of war still surging as a country tries to rebuild. Released shortly after the end of the horrible war, Burmese Harp ('56) was/is an important film. It is tender but forceful, dismal but inspiring, simple but also poetic. A profound anti-war statement. It's the story of a private in the ...

An Essential WWII FILM from Robert Pirosh
GO FOR BROKE! This is a very entertaining film directed by Robert Pirosh about the formation of the WWII 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Based on factual events and what makes it unique is that the 442 was made up of Japanese-American volunteers who served in the European, essentially Italy and France, theater of battle. Van Johnson, giving one of his best performances, portrays Lt. Mike Grayson in ...

the facts behind "Glory"
This disc looks at the experiences of the real troop that was portrayed in "Glory," the first all-Black military unit during the Civil War. Though the work is informative, it is also upsetting because of how some things did not change. Here, Black troops were gathered out of necessity, not altruism or equality. The same is true of Blacks who served in World War I. Here, Black troops were ...
