excellent biography
Given that this is the only video biography of Jussi Bjorling currently available, it is by default the best one. But on its own merits it stands up very well also. The obvious flaw is that the narration is in Swedish with English subtitles, which detracts a bit from full enjoyment, but there is a lot of information and many interviews. Actors play young Jussi and his brothers as they toured with their father as "The Bjorling Quartet" and give a real sense of what it might have been like for them after their father died. Bjorling's virtues were many and they are well displayed, but his flaws are covered as well with his alcoholism and his (2) illegitimate children not glossed over. For a definitive work on the singer, read Anna-Lisa Bjorling's book "Jussi."
