Stellar!.......2007-01-16

I was born in Argentina and came to the U.S. at 7 years of age. For 43 years my Mom spoke of Carlos Gardel as the epitome of tango icons. She always said with a sigh that she would probably never see his movies again. Well, guess what happens in 2006?---Amazon and the internet and she gets 4 movies for Christmas! She tells me they play exactly like they did when she saw them as a wee little girl. Amazon and the Argentines that put this together have made my Mom very happy. The discs have a few extras and it's a simple package. For collector's or vintage film buffs, my opinion is that the collection is great. Thanks a lot Amazon for making my Mom's dream come true!

charming.......2006-02-18

I had become quite familiar with the voice and songs of Carlos Gardel without having seen him performing any of them. He used to sing 2 to 4 songs per movie. I love all his songs and couldn't decide which movie to pick, so I decided to dive and pick the unsure one with 4 movies! On Amazon site, there is no image of the cover, the only review does not talk about the DVD's, and the producer's comments list only the songs.

The good surprise for me was that all the movies were in Spanish (no English version), with subtitles in English or Spanish, so you can practice your spanish. But the English subtitles have been forgotten for the first one (El dia que me quieras). The movies are not too long, so I watched the 4 of them in a row. Are the flaws due to the CD being made in Argentine? There are no extras on the DVD's, no comments, no history. Considering the high price of the package, and the amount of information easily available on this most famous tango singer of all times, the production company could have made an effort to add something else to the movies, on the extra section.
These set aside, I was delighted to see Carlos Gardel perform those songs and play in those movies. It is neither superior acting nor incredible scripts, but the man is bigger than life. His facial expressions, eyebrows, eyes, head (and body) movements were just so in phase with what I imagined from his voice. It is absolutely charming. Gardel had this huge genuine smile on his face. The last movie, Tango in Broadway, is the lightest of all, comedy wise. He just let himself go, obviously enjoying himself and the company of those babes. But even the other serious stories are quite entertaining. There are also at least one or two scenes of Tango dancing in each movie, including Carlos Gardel dancing them. It is so nice to see those guys perform Argentine Tango the "Buenos Aires streets" way.
Of course, you need to care for black and white movies. I don't think there has been any re-work or remastering, the title jumps a little, there is a little noise scratch like from the old grammaphones. I just take it as a collectible, but I don't know if there are remasterized copies of those available.

Two Great Tangos Sang When Gardel Was Nearing Immortality. .......2007-02-13

"El Dia que me Quieras" (1935) ("The Day You Love Me") was filmed at NYC in January 1935. Later that year Carlos Gardel will die in an airplane accident.

The story is a classical melodrama scheme: young and rich aficionado singer, Julio, falls in love with beautiful professional dancer, Margarita. At the same time Julio's wealthy father is trying to create an economical alliance marrying his son an heir, to his competitor's daughter.
Obviously Julio will not comply with his father's plans and is expelled from his parent's house.
He marries his sweetheart but is unable to earn his life as a tango singer.
A girl is born to the couple but Margarita fells ill. Desperate Julio stole money from his father's coffer. Unfortunately this money is too late to save Margarita's life.
Around twenty years after Julio has attained fame and money and Marga his daughter is his partner and company's dancer.
As this IS a true melodrama a young and rich chap, Daniel, will fall in love with Marga and once again a strict father oppose the lover's plan.
Will story be repeated? Well let leave at least this little enigma to the viewers.

So the argument is not very original and the whole film is quite naïve, but ... there are two unforgettable Tangos sang by Gardel: the joyful love declaration "El Dia Que Me Quieras" and the mournful "Sus Ojos se Cerraron". Just those feature more than justify buying this DVD.

Gardel's fans and Tango lovers: do not let this musical time capsule go unnoticed!

Some problems with the copy.......2007-01-07

This film is considered one of the best of immortal Carlos Gardel. However, the quality of the copy is far from being satisfactory. It gives the impression that this DVD is not produced from the original negatives, but from one of the copies shown in movie theaters. On the other hand, non Spanish speaking viewers can hardly understand the conversations, since English subtitles cannot be turned on. The disk seems to have some technical problems.

Carlos Gardel: El dia que me quieras.......2007-01-09

This is a 1930 Argentinian movie, simple very well acted, corny yes but beautifull with some of the songs composed, sung, acted by the inmortal Carlos Gardel. The movie as old as it is has very acceptable sound and video.
