Great Film, 31 May 2001
10/10
Author: (curatorfilm@webtv.net) from Chicago

This is a fine film that makes you feel as if you have taken a step back in time. An out of business orchestra tries a new beginning by arranging concert dates at music halls around England in spite of the war. The music is great with sound quality you would not expect from a 60 year old movie. The film touches on higher ideals. Battle for the Music is one of those many great films that have vanished into the past.
