Title: Yuck
Product review: What is there to say about this movie? The music is sublime, but the plot is stale and the cast was ill chosen. It's hard to imagine John Garfield as a virtuoso violinist. As he is addressed once in the film, he looks more like a middleweight prizefighter. Perhaps the studio was casting against type. If so, it didn't work. And Joan Crawford is all wrong to play the sexy femme fatale. Her shoulders are more fitting on a linebacker. Oscar Levant is twitchy and perfect for is role, but that isn't enough to save the cast.We pretty much know where the plot is going from the beginning. It's not going to be pleasant in that last reel.Now, before all you fans of this nonsense start attacking me with snide remarks about how ignorant I am, forget it. It won't change my opinion of the movie or help it in any way.
