Rating: B- --
Despite the film's solid performances - careful understatement by Scolari, straightforwardness by the young men, as well as sharp work in a small role by Darren McGavin - Perfect Harmony remains just a well-crafted TV movie, no more, no less.

Entertainment Weekly
A quality cast, impressive settings and a particularly nice musical score are undone by the film's predictable and improbably optimistic ending.

Product Description:
PERFECT HARMONY looks at American racism of the 1950s through the microcosm of a private school in a small South Carolina town. Taylor (Justin Whalin) has always stood out as the star of his prep school choir. Taylor's life turns upside down when he meets Landy (Eugene Byrd), and African-American orphan living with his grandfather, the school caretaker (Moses Gunn). Plagued by racism, the boys' friendship suffers from the small minds of the town residents, until an inspiring new choirmaster (Peter Scolari) steps in to bring together everyone, regardless of race.
Description by Buena Vista Home Entertainment.:
Perfect Harmony
PERFECT HARMONY is a moving story in which boyhood friendship and love of music overcome racial prejudice. Set in South Carolina during the 1950s, two boys -- Taylor, the star of his prep school's renowned, all-white boys' choir, and Landy, an orphaned black teenager with a gift for the blues -- develop a friendship in spite of the racial barriers that divide the school and town. Starring Peter Scolari (NEWHART) as the academy's inspirational choirmaster, this impressive work features uplifting music and promises family entertainment at its finest.
