 S'wonderful! February 4, 2003

This is a wonderful movie. I am a little upset that is not easily available right now, and I will have to wait for the price to go down before I buy it. Check out the Gershwinfan.com site if you are interested in Gershwin.

This is one of those films that seems WAY longer than it actually is, and it's not exactly short to begin with. Second, I can think of better leads than Alda. But he was actually better than I'd thought he'd be. What makes this film a little gem is seeing people like Hazel Scott act and perform, as well as all the great music and historical perspective the film offers. Hopefully, we'll be seeing it on DVD soon.
 a classic July 9, 2002

I was nine years old when this masterpiece first appeared on our neighborhood screen. I may have missed it cause you know young boys interests were cowboys and indians, and Saturday serials. My parents probably did see it, but it was never mentioned over the dinner table. Now, 56 years later, I have found this classic, and have it my own tape. This is music noone will ever see or hear again. As we grow out of our chilhood years into young adult, we start to appreciate these kind of stories. And, I mus say, made only better in black and white, a standard of that time. Maybe this classic wouldn't have went over in color, maybe it would. But, I will now enjoy this classic all I want. As an aside, when I was that young tot, I had thought that George and Ira were married! Goes to show how much I paid attention. Dumb, heh? Woody Allens' movie "Manhattan" has many of these songs in it's sound track. See it too.....
Nostalgic and Noteworthy! October 15, 2001
This movie is the inspiring story of George Gershwin and his music. I adore this movie and I watch it often. To avoid searching for it in the listings, I'm purchasing my own copy. Parents --- introduce your children to George Gershwin's music with a wholesome, entertaining movie! "Rhapsody in Blue" is family entertainment at its best. A tender blend of biography and incredible music, this film honors one of one of America's most beloved composers!
