directed by Charles Vidor
featuring Paul Muni, Merle Oberon, Cornel Wilde, Stephen Bekassy, George Coulouris, Nina Foch

One of the most successful filmed biographies of the 1940s, A Song to Remember alleges to be the true story of Polish composer Frederick Chopin. Actually, it has about as much relation to truth as a Heckle and Jeckle cartoon, but with such gorgeous creatures as Cornel Wilde and Merle Oberon in the leads, who cared? Though Wilde, as Chopin, is the ...

The Sheridan Gibney-Pierre ...
