The main question hanging over this film is - how did it come to be
made? How did they ever persuade Paderewski to take part? He
speaks his lines very slowly, but with impressive dignity - he is
playing himself - and the overhead shots of his hands as he plays
the Beethoven, Chopin and Paderewski selections are marvellous. The other reason for seeing the film is the
performance by Dame Marie Tempest as the Swedish Countess,
into whose castle the people who have been in the plane crash
are invited. The script gives her virtually nothing to do, but she
makes an extraordinary impression and it's easy to imagine,
watching her timing, the beautiful gestures and the lovely
cadences of her voice (remember, she was a pupil of the great
singing teacher Manuel Garcia) what a sensational stage
performer she must have been. The story is sentimental, but everyone seems to enter into it with
great energy. The sets are designed by Laurence Irving (grandson
of Henry Irving) and they are large and handsome in a very 1930s
'modern' way.
