Odd, isn't it, that with all the emphasis these days on authenticity of performance, pitch level, temperament (oops!  Please, no flames!) that when it comes to a movie like that, the music was simply hopeless, hopeless, HOPELESS!  It was a compelling story, to be sure, but........I very nearly walked out of the theater because of the music.  With that in mind, what hope was there that the piano would sound even remotely the way it looked? Hollywood in the '30s and '40s tried very hard to be as realistic as possible with most movies.............too expensive now.  Easier to do it in house ith samples.........Sheesh is right!</blockquote> You sure are right there Stan... I got the feeling it was some kinda new-age music she was playing half the time.... didnt fit the time span at all tho for the modern cosmic california yupphead I suppose it was an emotionally inspiring moment.. Actually I wasnt to awfully impressed with the movie at all. 3rd rate smaltzch if you ask me. <blockquote TYPE=CITE>  Stan Ryberg Barrington IL</blockquote> -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
