    A rarely seen British made musical biopic - I wonder what the image/colour quality is like ? Could be good or bad....




    Melba (UK, 1953) -     Patrice Munsel (New DVD Release)

    Catalog #: PMVP2112

    Melba (1953 film) - Patrice Munsel (DVD): VAIMUSIC.COM

    1953 film starring Patrice Munsel, Robert Morley, Martita Hunt, Sybil Thorndike

    Directed by Lewis Milestone.


    Colour, Stereo (Really ? ), 112 minutes, All regions

    In her film debut, Metropolitan Opera star Patrice Munsel portrays legendary opera diva Nellie Melba in this lavish, critically-acclaimed color film. The story follows Nellie from the time she leaves her family's cattle ranch in Australia to her arrival in Paris, where she begins her voice training for the opera. Melba debuts in Brussels, is a smash hit and international fame follows. Marrying a suitor from Australia who tires of his place in her shadow, the relationship ends, and the great singer carries on alone.
