"The Helen Morgan Story" is one of those great older movies that they just don't make anymore. The stars are beautiful (Ann Blyth & Paul Newman), the acting is wonderful, the music is great...it is a wonderful movie depicting the life of a musical great. Why they didn't use Ann Blyth's voice is beyond me though. They thought someone with a beautiful voice like hers couldn't sing torch songs? Paul Newman is great as Helen Morgan's lover. I was a kid but I still DO remember the original Playhouse 90 broadcast with singer Polly Bergen portraying Helen Morgan, who was also wonderful. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes good acting and good music, because that's what you'll get when you watch "The Helen Morgan Story".
