Thread Name: Songcatcher: Barbara Allen & other songs
Subject: RE: Songcatcher
I just saw it again this week.

Mostly, the songs were good, though usually cut off too short. With one exception, they seem to be authentic. The exception is near the end, perhaps the last song, something like The Mountains Cry, which has written-for-the-film written all over it.

And I have to complain that the good Perfessor who comes in by car is far, far from being credible. He looks like something that Disney would have dreamed up as a comic character in Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.
