Trivia
Charlton Heston spent up to five hours a day at rehearsals conducting Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C-, Op. 67, Allegro con brio, the music performed over the opening credits. In his diaries, Heston describes it as better than parting the Red Sea.

Errores
Lionel Evans refers to the number of musicians in his orchestra as 70---the bus, although a double-decker, would not hold that many. In courtyard scenes, there are not that many seen.

Citas
Evans: Prostitution isn't the only profession ruined by amateurs.

good flick

Counterpoint remains one of my favorite movies mainly because of the interesting interplay between Schell's and Heston's characters. It is good movie making to set up a psychological tug-of-war with life at stake. Schell does an excellent job portraying a conflicted authoritarian who has stumbled upon a small bit of beauty in the midst of chaos. Schell exudes his character's charm and ultimate control over the situation when he comments on the orchestra's performance list - "Something Wagnerian perhaps..." I always have the feeling watching this movie that it would translate very well to the stage. Your eye is never distracted by other things. The premise, though a bit unrealistic, is still compelling enough to make the movie a good watch.
