Evergreen (1934) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

Most of the reviews on this page seem to be coming from experienced viewers of the period with much broader knowledge of 30s musicals than I have. My viewing experience of the 30s doesn't extend out much past Errol Flynn, and while his swashbuckling style bears a vague resemblance to more recent times, I can assuredly say that this movie is of a completely different style to anything else I've ever seen. I suspect that modern audiences will have trouble appreciating the songs and dance routines, as the world has moved on several times over since then and these days expects something quite different for it's entertainment. I would like to think however, that any person born of a more recent generation (I'm 37 at the time of writing) viewing a movie from this period would have respect for the historical importance of such an opportunity. At the very least it is a glimpse at our world dating back 75 years, and very recently restored and transferred to DVD by Network media (25 May 2009). So what is my interest in this particular film? Quite simply; Jessie Matthews. I regard her as the most beautiful and charming woman I have ever seen on screen, and that is taking into account all modern day actresses. She is a complete natural with comedy, and despite a large portion of Evergreen's 90 minutes being devoted to singing and dancing, Jessie's comedic ability still gets a chance to shine through. Furthermore, while I find it difficult to appreciate the musical side of the production, I can safely say that there is never a moment when Jessie does not look perfectly suited to the task of both singer and dancer. I found the plot to be a little silly but still entertaining, and in fact the 90 minutes run time felt more like 60 by the time the film had come to an end. I would dearly love to see all of Jessie's films released on DVD, and can only hope that the company decides to do so, and I also hope that there is a large audience out there that can still appreciate a glimpse of a different world.

Jessie Matthews's First Starring Lead role

Jessie Matthews re-creates the role she originated in the 1930 Rodgers & Hart London stage production. From that production, only three songs from the original score made the transition to the film, one of which, "Dancing On The Ceiling", has become an American standard. Additional songs were provided by American composer, Harry Woods.While Matthews was nicknamed "The Dancing Divinity", she was also admired for her singing. She reportedly was a very popular and prolific recording artist in England. In this role, she sings as much, if not more, than she dances. Nevertheless, she was a skilled dancer, certainly equal to any of the dancing ladies of the 1930s. You'll see Matthews perform a variety of different dance styles in this film."Evergreen" was reportedly a very popular and profitable film in both England and America. This was the first of several musical comedy films done by Matthews, in which she had the lead starring role. It's interesting to watch if you enjoy 1930s musicals and their stars, especially if you enjoy dance in film. This film can be obtained on VHS.
