Customer Reviews

Corny Plot; Liz Taylor at her Most Gorgeous; and Beautiful Music
This movie has always been one of my favorites because it brings me back to my college years (long time ago). It stars Elizabeth Taylor, Vittorio Gassman and John Ericson , all at their most stunning physically if not artistically. However, there is not too much to be done with the schmaltzy story about the rich and beautiful young woman who pursues her dashing violinist across Europe only to learn that his violin is more important to him than her company or her money. Meanwhile, her neighbor (Ericson), also a gifted musician (pianist), is yearning for her and happily puts her ahead of his music. Taylor's wealthy father is played effortlessly by Louis Calhern as a sardonic but ultimately caring force in her life (a typical Calhern role). I recommend this film as wonderful escapism and suggest you forget about serious content, lasting significance, etc. and just sit back and enjoy a glamorous if vapid Liz Taylor, a handsome pair of suitors (especially Gassman) and some of the most beautiful music in the world (there are soaring performances, or partial performances, and background music featuring Tchaikovsky's violin concerto, Rachmaninov's piano concerto and assorted other classical masterpieces). I was delighted when this came out on DVD but it seems to be in short supply. However, the DVD is an excellent transfer and is much more beautiful to watch and hear than the old video.

Pleasant movie
Most importantly I received it 48hrs after ordering it and it was in mint condition. I recommend this movie to all young and beautiful Elizabeth Taylor lovers, also to all classical music lovers. I enjoyed this old fashioned romantic movie tremendously.

Could not watch it
Received the title just in time for a gift, and did not notice that the cd box was damaged on the back until the box was opened. My mistake was not inspecting the CD box properly when I took it out of the shipment box that seemed to be in perfect condition.

Once opened and unsealed I new I could not return it. Tried to watch the movie and my player rejected it.

I will purchase the movie again, but not with this seller as they should have detected the problem when packaging.
