Interesting if slow moving film from 1934 that showcases some of the musical genius of Austrian composer Franz Schubert with some fictional scenes of romance on his part. A healthy dose of forbidden love with the girlfriend of an Austrian army officer.
I admit it took me two viewings to fully enjoy its spleandour but it is an early talkie attempt at exploring some works of a great composer that would follow in the years ahead and the evolution of cinema.
Schubert is played by Richard Tauber, a great musical actor of the period. An actor worth checking out.
All in all a watchable film that deserves viewing for its forebearing of films ahead such as The Music Lovers.
