Brilliant visual style meets great music in one of the little known gems of the 1940's.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

70-odd minutes worth of dismal drama and 60-odd minutes of sometimes breathtaking performances from some of the most important names in classical music of that era.

Rated: 4/5

The story has whiskers, although Marsha Hunt gives it some dignity, but what a great chance to see and heard a wide spectrum of music and musicians of the time.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
