Summary: 5 Stars
Very nice! Great music! Story a little weak but he music sure does make up for it!Movie Review: well worth it but the get a different version
Summary: 4 Stars
The film is excellent for no other reason that it showcases some of the greats in Classical music during the period (1947) which are very difficult to find. The way these scenes are filmed is also exceptional. You clearly see the concentration and the blending of the musician with the music in a way that is seldom captured on film. You don't have to be a classical fan to appreciate it. I have seen several people greatly enjoy this film who do not particularly care for classical music, greatly enjoy this film. It is the skill and passion of the musicians that they appreciate.
Some have complained that the plot is poor and should be skipped. Yes, it is not a great script, but it does serve to break up the performances and to some degree it gives you the feeling of the care, dedication and the artistry of these musicians. If it had been just the performances it would have been a bit too much like a concert. Even though the script was not the best, it focused your attention on the passion of the music and the musicians. This set it above a mere concert film. However, it could have been a better film with a better script.
Unfortunately the Kino version is not the best. The transfer is sloppy, and the sound is of a poor quality. Additionally some of the musical numbers are cut. A complete version with high quality sound is available on this web site from a different studio.
Movie Review: Classical Musicians and Singers only
Summary: 4 Stars
The story is an embarrassment, unworthy to share time with the great singers and musicians contained within. Vaughn Monroe and Harry James do not belong in the film because they were given poor material to work with. The creators of this film did not know what they were doing in the popular music department, nor in the story department. I would never watch this entire film again. The non-James non-Monroe music is excellent, exciting and worth buying a DVD for, because then you can skip them and the "story" and be happy.Movie Review: Classical Musicians and Singers only
