User Review - 10/10 by Paul JMy life is now complete. The scene of Joan dancing and 'singing' with a painted black face is unforgettable.
User Review - 10/10 by Simone BI like any movie of Joan Crawford because even if it happens it not be the best, it still has her best in it. This is what she always gave to the audience, her very best! This movie has received very tough criticism for many reasons. The script was surely not in favor of her, as in many dialogues, she had to deal with in real life people thought about her.There is a particular scene when she says - The first time I ever sang, I got in love with the audience. I have been in love with the audience ever since. I`m going to give them the best that`s in me, no matter who, what, or when tries to stop me. I think that was what she did her entire life to be seen and loved. I will never criticize her because she was not perfect. Nobody is! What she gave to us, her audience, is priceless! She had to sweat, fight, work the hardest way to become Joan Crawford. She built an amazing career, the longest nobody ever was able to have. I admire her a great deal! This movie was cynical to her, but still she was great, for me, she was great, no matter role.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael TTorch Song is an excellent film. It is about Jenny Stewart who is a tough Broadway musical star and doesn't take criticism from anyone. Joan Crawford and Michael Wilding give amazing performances. The script is well written. Charles Walters did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and music.
User Review - 8/10 by Angela PIt's campy, fun, and features a completely baffling dance number with Joan Crawford in black face. What more can I ask for? It was destined to be a cult classic.
User Review - 8/10 by Jesse GJoan does blackface......need i say more!
User Review - 8/10 by Gregg DViva La Diva!!!! But I just didn't know at 1st if I wanted the Slap the Nasty out of her or Hug The Nasty out of Her. Who knew Joan Craford could sing & Dance? And Well, actually.Check out the Runners(not dancers) thighs on her! Abundance of talent, no wonder she harbored such a high opinion of herself.Her Diva personality is put to great use here, as she doesn't just play superbly to Character, it IS her character.The Diva of Drama, may be misunderstood & lonely in both real life & in this role, & it shows on her face as stern & constipated.While a pretty woman, she looks mean from the inside out, esp. here, more than any other role I've seen her in.Something tells me its not just makeup or acting.I just want to Hug her till she melts the Ice. She meets her match in a Blind Pianist who is neither afraid of her, nor affected by her.Meeting someone who can put he in her place is just what the Doctor ordered & kinder than a Personality Enema.Gotta Love an Ice melting movie like this one
User Review - 8/10 by Stuart LBeautifully shot. Great performances. Camp camp camp.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg Whigh camp and joan crawford in technicolor-need i say more
User Review - 6/10 by Rick B"torch song" is joan crawford's first thorough flick in technicolor as well as her first feature in mgm production after her departure for almost a decade. to re-join the league of mgm where she has the gayest time in her youth, crawford turns down the role in "from here to eternality" (later it goes to debora kerr since crawford has some difficult wardrobe insistance. could you imagine joan crawford being kissed by buffy burt lancaster in the smoldering beach sequence, huh? crawford shows regrets in her elder years.) and the studio pairs her with british michael wilding who just marries elizabeth taylor who also has some grudges with crawford on the set. but the major problem is could joan crawford dance and sing again after 25 years (she was a chorus girl in the roaring 20s)? in the premiere projection, some critics simply say why the studio has to hire some actress who cannot sing and dance as the broadway superstar? supposedly, only steel-willed joan crawford could pull it off with hardship despite the whole show ends up as another celebration of CAMP. crawford plays jenny stewart who is a domineering brittle broadway superstar who rules everyone under her mighty woman power. tough jenny is actually lonesome in private, guarded with defense until she meets the blind pianist tye (wilding) who admires her in his own unique way. it forms a odd picture of strange romance about a man who carries the torch of his crush before he loses his sights and a woman who melts under a blind man's idealization of herself. crawford delivers some histrionic lines which are literarily designed as her self-revelations. sometimes she growls, she glares, splashing a glass of water as defiance, tripping over her parter in the duo dance....in spite of all those poises of toughness. she weeps under her blanket when she confronts her solitude at night. obiviously this movie rips and recycles crawford's larger-than-life persona to sell some some tickets since all these senarios are all self-referential. the pinnacle of camp would definitely be the musical of "two-faced woman" in it, it is awkwardly startling to watch crawford smear black paint to darken her complexion doing the black-face ministrel show, then she tosses her black wig off in a rage then her flamy hair bares that is simply jaw-dropping. that part worths the ticket becuz of its camp value! all the songs are dubbed by professional singer except in one scene crawford sings "tenderly" along the gramophone in her own voice which is not bad, husky and magnetic. pleasantly this sequence is reminiscent of her singing "embrace me" in 1947 "humoresque". tragically michael wilding's career doesn't revive since his performances are quite woodened, even the marriage to elizabeth taylor doesn't help him to archieve the hollywood stardom he dreams, at last taylor abandons him for the stronger michael todd. wilding fades into oblvion ever since. perhaps crawford is more adequate to star in a peculiar picture like this instead of the highly romanticized steamy "from here to eternality" with burt lancaster, nowadays anyone would deem it weird. and "torch song" would probably be the last hollywood movie which contains a black-face show. but admirably, crawford still remains in a nice shape when she's almost 50, shining a brittle glamour in helen rose's vivid costumes. even million dollar mermaid esther williams compliments crawford's well-preserved figure but willaims also comments that it is sad that she gets drunk and talks to herself on the set since she seems so lonely.
User Review - 6/10 by Chris VAn oddly downbeat musical love story starring Joan Crawford, not quite convincing as a Broadway musical actress. Rehearsing for a new Broadway show Jenny Stewart (Crawford) is not happy - her dancing partner doesn't know his steps, she doesn't like her costumes and is clashing with her musical director who jumps ship to be replaced by a new pianist (Michael Wilding) who has been blinded in the war. Stewart is rankled that here is one person she cannot browbeat but finds herself drawn to this withdrawn man. Crawford certainly gives an unwaivering performance as the star who gets what she wants but totally swamps the film with her grim determination. She has few opportunities to soften the edges of her character, these usually in scenes with her mother (Oscar-nominated Marjorie Rambeau) and Maidie Norman as her assistant - Norman later played Crawford's protective cleaner in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? The film has entered the obvious realms of Camp thanks to Crawford's take-no-prisoners performance, her colourful wardrobe - this is Technicolor turned up to 11 - and two her two big dance routines: one with the director Charles Walters as the hapless dance partner and, most mind-boggling of all, blacked-up in a big production number "Two-Faced Woman". The bizarre thing is that this last number was originally performed by Cyd Charisse in "The Band Wagon" but was cut in post-production. Charisse had been dubbed by India Adams so when the track was re-assigned to TORCH SONG, Adams also had to dub Crawford's wavery vocals. Suffice to say the number should have remained dropped.
