Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe music was played by pianist Carmen Cavallaro in his own style. He had a completely different, and more technically precise, style of playing than Eddy Duchin had. The orchestral arrangements and style of playing are also anachronistic - Cavallaro's of the 1950s versus Duchin's, typical of the late 1920s and early 1930s. (Duchin's orchestra also included a tuba and banjo). If you listen to recordings by both, this is clearly evident.
- PatzerEddy Duchin suffered from acute myelogenous leukemia. This blood disease would not have created the hand paralysis shown in the movie. The paralysis was done for dramatic effect. Eddy Duchin died at Memorial Hospital in New York City on February 9, 1951. He was 41.
- Zitate
Eddy Duchin: What I want to know is why! Why do they have to destroy a man twice? You work and work and just when you get... everything. When it gets too good they take it away.
Eddy Duchin: Oh Chiquita, I don't want to die. I don't.

Ausgewählte Rezension
I saw this movie when I was 11 years old in 1959. Although, over the years, I was hooked by the songs in the movie and bought the record and tape to listen to in my adult life, I saw the the movie again last month and it brought a real new meaning of the life of Eddie Duchin. I was seeing the movie as an adult, not as a kid. Tyrone Power, who I have admired for years, play the part of Duchin real well. His portrayal as a father trying to reach to his son was touching and realistic. Kim Novack was very good in her part as his wife. The songs especially Chopin's E flat major and Manhattan were very well played by Carmen Cavallaro. Cavallaro is a favorite artiste of mine. He plays superbly and brings out the flavor of the songs. This movie is a classic and should be highly recommended.
