Aged 9 I saw this film which has been my favourite film and music of all time. I wrote to Michael Dennison asking if San Felice and The Glass Mountain exist I still have his treasured letter saying San Felice is Cortina d Ampezzo in the Italian Dolomites and Monte Cristallo is the backdrop to that resort. I was lucky enough to fulfil my dream this year on my 65th birthday to visit Monte Cristallo (playing the music as I ascended the Mountain on a chairlift ha!!) It was spectacular. I play the music most days and must have seen the film over 20 times!! Now available on DVD featuring Tito Gobi. Stayed in Venice to do this trip 3hrs by train/coach. Also visited The Venice Opera House featured in the film fabulous well worth a visit - only disappointment was in the history it never mentioned The Glass Mountain !!
