| User ReviewJoey HMy mom introduced me to this movie when I was a child and searched long and hard to find, but my dad finally gave it to me last Christmas (2006). Another tear jerker, but hey I love musical movies! |
| User ReviewEcuador Gay TMagica y Romántica. Música para soñar. La mejor introducción en película, para mi criterio. |
| User ReviewIsabel dOne of Power's last great films. I really enjoyed this one and watch it over and over again. |
| User ReviewCalum BI saw this on TV, so I didn't see the beginning, but I really liked the rest of the movie. The cast is good, and the story interesting, even though I'd never heard of Duchin before. |
| User ReviewVicki HThis movie has always been one of my favorites. Good story, sad story. Well acted. |
| User ReviewJAVIER Aoh....the music is excellent...it'll make u cry... |
| User ReviewEri YMany people say this story is cheesy but I like it. This movie was one of my Dad's favorite movies. Great music! I love the way he plays the piano. I wish there is soundtrack CD of this movie. |
| User ReviewFélix SI was in my mother's womb when she saw this film for the first time. Tyrone Power is her favourite actor, his ideal man after my father, of course. |
| User ReviewMichael TGlossy, mushy biography of the bandleader/pianist, played with stoicism by Tyrone Power (and dubbed by Carmen Cavallero); Kim Novak and Victoria Shaw portray the women in his life. |
| User ReviewJames HVery well made biopic, but a little over the top with the dramatics. Tyrone Power tries, but the casting could have been better. Good music and sound. Nicely photographed. |
