A good Mystery.

"The Yellow Canary", movie is the story of a singer who's baby is kidnapped. The best acting in the film is from Barbara Eden in one of her best dramatic roles of Lissa Paxton, the wife of the singer and mother of the baby son who's kidnapped. The reaction when she comes home and finds her baby son kidnapped is one of the best scenes in the film. A good mystery and story from Rod Serling.

I have looked for this for 50 years!

I was a fan of Kenyon Hopkins, who wrote the music. Came across the soundtrack album at an Army post exchange on a mono LP and bought it. I've been curious ever since about the movie. Big stars Pat Boone, Jack Klugman, Barbara Eden, big name screenwriter, a favorite composer. Someone saw fit to produce a music soundtrack album and press LP records for sale. My rating is based purely on the music soundtrack.

Where is this movie? I've searched the usual places, but all I've found so far have been well known scammers. We now have probably 50 streaming movie/tv services. You'd think someone would find this and run it!

Hey Amazon, how about it. If not for Prime, how about for FeeVee? There might be a whole new generation waiting to discover Pat Boone!

...a very good movie.

Though it has been well over 40 years since I saw "The Yellow Canary," my recollection is that it was a very good movie. What I specifically remember is a stand out performance by Pat Boone. So much so, I did not remember Barbara Eden's part in it. Boone spent most of his movie career in singing roles (e.g, State Fair) and/or more-or-less simplistic teen movies (e.g., "April Love," "Bernadine"). In this film, however, he provided a more than passable effort as a serious actor. It seems unfortunate he did not pursue more such roles, though he may have suffered from management that stifled his potential, much like happened to Elvis and Colonel Tom Parker's control of his career. It would be interesting to see the film today, and find out if the years have enhanced my memory or if, in fact, it's as good as I remember.

Rod Serling must have had a balloon payment due on his mortgage

I watched this only because I had heard Rod Serling wrote it. Well, you'd never know it just from watching. Judging from his other work, he must have rushed this out for a payday. It would barely pass as a bad 1970s TV movie.

Pat Boone and Barbara Eden were attractive and charismatic performers adept at comedy but they were not dramatic actors and in this it really shows.

Good lost film.

It's a shame that this film gets trashed all the time by critics, when it's really a fine Rod Serling movie. Boone, Eden, and Forrest give nice performances in this little mystery. I sure wish that I could find a copy of it on VHS, but I don't think it's ever been released on video. Maybe someday.

The gold records on display in Andy's home appear to be Pat Boone's own, as they all bear the Dot label, which was Boone's recording company at the time.
