Why I liked "When Brendan Met Trudy"
3 April 2009
This movie thrilled me because of its soundtrack: I am wondering how many viewers realize that all the singing heard in this film is actually the recording of the fabulous voice of the legendary Irish tenor of yesteryear - John Count McCormack? It's interesting to me that none of the previously posted comments refer to that fact. The actors are fresh and modern in their roles, although they are completely new to me as an American viewer. In connection with McCormack, a segment of this film evidently shows an excerpt of McCormack singing "Panis Angelicus" in Dublin's Phoenix Park during the 1932 Papal Eucharistic Conference. This is depicted on a computer screen. I would very much appreciate it if anyone could refer me to the detail of that film, i.e., how to obtain a copy. Information on hand indicates that British Pathe filmed the event.
