Doris Day is stunning in this biopic of jazz singer Ruth Etting, who was known as “America’s sweetheart of song”. After watching this film, I read some biographical material, and it would seem the film is very true to her life.
Ms. Day sings up a storm (the musical numbers are terrific), and gives a performance with a lot of depth, playing a complex personality caught in a hellbound relationship.
Cagney, as her thug boyfriend/manager, is magnificent. Every gesture and facial expression is a riveting work of art. He was an extraordinary, multi-faceted actor, and this is a performance not to miss.
Cameron Mitchell is also excellent as the pianist who loves her, but is shut out of her life.
Well written, directed and edited, it’s a powerful story of control, obsession, and abuse. A downward spiral that’s hard to break…when someone tells her “You’re making a big mistake”, she says: “I’ve made so many, one more won’t make a difference”.
This is a fabulous film. It has drama, strong characters, great acting, and marvelous music !
Doris Day was a songbird, and a mighty fine actress too.
In 1955, after seven years as a major star at Warner Brothers and a string of successful films, Doris Day began to free lance. The first project she chose was a lavish musical biography at MGM entitled, “Love Me or Leave Me”. It was the story of 20’s and 30’s chaunteuse, Ruth Etting and her relationship with Marty “The Gimp” Snyder. It opened that summer to critical and box-office kudos.
The well-fashioned script pulls no punches in it’s depiction of the sometimes seamy and tawdry lives of it’s principal characters. Etting and Snyder often used one another for their own personal gain and, for a change, the film doe not gloss over some of the less than savory aspects of their lives. The result is one of the best musical dramas ever committed to film.
The rise of Etting, from dance hall girl to Ziegfeld star was told amidst the settings of Chicago and New York. She meets Snyder, who wants to use her and utilizes his obsession with her in order to attain her goal - stardom. Their relationship is one that is filled with violence, jealousy, and rage, and the realism with which this is presented is unsettling. Those who like their musicals served up with a sugar coating should steer clear of this memorable classic.
Doris Day gives a tour de force performance as Etting. It’s a Doris Day that we’ve never seen before and the heartbreaking reality that she brings to ever scene is unforgettable. Vocally, she sings with passion and style, dazzling with such song classics as “Shakin the Blues Away”, “Ten Cents a Dance” and “You Made Me Love You”, and the Oscar nominated, “I’ll Never Stop Loving You”. However, it is her rendition of “It All Depends on You”, accompanied by only a piano, in which she creates a lasting image. To those who have never really listened to her voice. her range,phrasing, breath control and tonal quality, not to mention the feeling that she puts into a song, will make them easily become admirers of what may be one of the finest female pop voices in music history.
James Cagney is nothing short of outstanding as Marty Snyder and his scenes with Day crackle with intensity. Cameron Mitchell as Johnny, the man Ruth loves, is also fine and MGM has spared no expense in making this a production of the highest calibre. It’s a film for the ages!
