Song Without End
(1960)
Runtime: 141 min
Country: USA
Language: English
Color: Color
Synopsis:
Rank matinée idol Dirk Bogarde made his Hollywood debut playing Franz
Liszt in this ultra-glamorous Columbia biopic, turning down the role of Gaston
Lachaille in MGM's Gigi in the process. Bogarde swiftly returned to European
film-making, and no wonder, for excellent though he is, this is preposterous
tosh, redeemed only by Jorge Bolet's off-screen piano and the panache of
veteran cameraman James Wong Howe. Alas, the soul went out of the project when
the original director, Charles Vidor, became ill and subsequently died. George
Cukor took over, but flamboyance was what it needed, not taste. Capucine and
Genevieve Page are stunning to watch as Liszt's women and there's a rare screen
appearance from Patricia Morison playing George Sand. The international
supporting cast is also impressive, if lifeless. Still, the music is superb,
and that's really what matters most in a film about Liszt.
Cast:
Dirk Bogarde, Capucine.
