Pifias
At the end of the movie, singer/composer/showman Edwin Pearce Christy, the founder of the blackface group Christy's Minstrels, announces the death of Stephen Foster at a benefit performance. Foster died on January 13, 1864. Christy could not have delivered the eulogy as he took his own life two years earlier on May 21, 1862, while facing financial ruin brought on by the Civil War.

Citas
Stephen Foster: [Finishes playing a song] That's it. Now if I could only get a lyric.
Susan Pentland: You might sell it?
Stephen Foster: And if I did, I could buy you such lovely things. A parasol. Blue... to match your lavender dress.
Susan Pentland: [laughs] That would be nice.
Stephen Foster: And all sorts of surprises. A little white cottage. The one that has always been waiting for you and for me. With hollyhocks... maybe some moonbeams... maybe fields of sunflowers that run all the way into the horizon.
Susan Pentland: All that with just one song?
Stephen Foster: I'd write some more. Then you and I could be together always. Would you like that?
Susan Pentland: Yes, Stephen.
Stephen Foster: Just you and I.
Susan Pentland: [laughs] And the piano.
Stephen Foster: By all means, the piano.
[They laugh]

Who?

This is a biography on the famous songwriter, Stephen Foster. If you don't know who that is, he's the guy responsible for Old Folks At Home, I Dream Of Jeannie and Swanee River among other compositions. This biography doesn't really tell you much in terms of gossip about the guy (he had a failed marriage that turned him to drink!) and the acting here is just OK, with Douglass Montgomery's hideous age makeup overpowering his performance here. I guess the main focus is the music. I guess that's not bad, but mind you, we're talking the later 1800's hit parade here. So like we're talking about like 'Beautiful Dreamer" territory here. One thing though, I just love how the main music is strains of 'Old Folks At Home'. I mean, you've never heard the song used as a background to a man under a drink's spell!
