      Storyline

      Edit

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        Director George Cukor thought Patricia Morison's voice as George Sand was too feminine, so he had it dubbed (by Anna Lee).
      • Quotes

        Countess Marie: I met Franz at a musical party. I remember he played a ballade in A-flat major by Chopin. I thought I'd never seen anything as beautiful as Franz looked when he sat at the piano. I... I wanted to cry. He watched me as he played; Franz never fails to notice a pretty woman in his audience. Afterward, he followed me into the hall. I remember he said, "May I escort you somewhere, madame?" And I said, "Yes." And he said, "Where?" And I said, "Paradise." He didn't smile - he said, "I'll call a carriage."

        Princess Carolyne: Did he?

        Countess Marie: What?

        Princess Carolyne: Drive you there - to paradise?

        Countess Marie: [a pause, and a meaningful look as she turns to leave the room] He doesn't know the road, madame.

      Great Music!
      No vote from me! I was surprised the average was not higher as what I watched was to me very pleasing. Famous pianist charms married princess He's also married so this story is a kind of impossible love story. It took me some time to identify Frantz Litz (forgive me for the "T" and "z" but i'm sure you know whom it is about. It was for me only a mid day TV movie but I have a large screen and a fairly good sound system with it. Although I'm not really an amateur of classical music, and prefer popular music and singing I find easier and sometimes more meaningful; but on the strength of the rest of the family I had and who felt classical music is the real thing I did persevere with the viewing and felt it to be very rewarding. When the music playing was on I turned on my sound system to fill the room then returned to TV sound. I read a few comments that praise the finger work done by D B. Yes it was amazing. I have not heard of Capucine and was trying to work out who she was...Well it was Capucine! I loved the "Old" lady who demonstrate great experience with life and it quirks. Some one is commenting that all is OK in the end - I'll have to check the meaning of "ok!
