Rating:  - Bobby Breen, circa 1936
Bobby Breen had a stellar (if brief) movie career: eight starring roles from 1936 to '39, plus one final 1942 appearance (in "Johnny Doughboy") along with other former child phenoms Jane Withers, Spanky McFarland and Alfalfa Switzer. In his youthful prime, Bobby was the most famous boy singer of the 1930s, performing songs in English, French, Italian and Spanish.
The soprano-voiced Canadian-born Breen got his start in nightclubs at age 7, appeared on the Eddie Cantor radio show in 1936 ... Read More
Rating:  - Forgotten child star
I agree with the last reviewer. Bobby Breens golden voice goes straight to the soul. Althought the video quality leaves little to be desired, to hear him venerate, in song, Louise Beavers as a madonna with Shubert's Ave Maria is both moving and daring for its time. I hope one day he will regain the recognition he so richly deserves, and that his film work will get better treatment on dvd.
Rating: - Bobbt Breen Treasures
To hear the golden voice of Bobby Breen is to rediscover how beautiful a child's voice can be. What is more, his films touch the heart. Too bad we now call honest sentiment and beautiful melodies outdated and corny. We are jaded and cynical. Please do yourself a favor and buy Bobby Breen's movies. They are rare gems and a great bargain. You won't regret it.
