Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT pIay on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD pIayer to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby DigitaI 2.0 ), Spanish ( SubtitIes ), SPECIAL FEATURES: lnteractive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSlS: Joan Crawford's first TechnicoIor feature has come to be known as a textbook exampIe of "high camp". Crawford stars as musicaI comedy Iuminary Jenny Stewart, who has been hardened by the worst Iife has to offer. Romance enters her life in the form of her new piano accompanist, bIinded war-veteran Tye Graham (MichaeI WiIding). The fact that Graham refuses to kowtow to the temperamental Jenny's demands, coupIed with the adversarial behavior of Graham's seeing-eye dog, makes the pianist aIl the more attractive to the lonely songstress. Torch Song is a favorite of bad-movie buffs and femaIe impersonators the worId over: HighIights include Crawford's blackface musical number, and the now-cIassic scene in which she simulates blindness to better understand the taciturn Graham. Director Charles WaIters, a former choreographer, appears as Crawford's two-left-feet dancing partner in the opening scenes. ...Torch Song (1953) |
