Figure 1.--This Disney movie about a southern choir is now rarely seen.

The United States is not widely assocaited with boy choirs. There are actually quite a few boy choirs in America. HBC knows, however, of very few American movies dealing with these choirs.

Perfect Harmony

The setting for this Disney production is 1959 South Carolina at Blanton Boys Academy. What is special about this school? Are you sitting down? Choir is considered to be as important as any other school activity! Bigots will not appreciate this film, because it shows how the love for each other's music-- brings together two boys of different race--during the dark days of racial prejudice. The academy boys do a great job of singing the classics. To really enjoy this film, you must try your best to forget Peter Scolari's role in "Newhart" and even more important-- forget the character of the boy in "Married With Children" which I rate as quite possibly the worst TV show ever produced in this country, and most certainly the worst show ever exported to other countries as an example of U.S. culture! "Perfect Harmony" seems to be currently out-of-print. - Length: 93 minutes.
