Director: Charles Vidor
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Hilariously inept even by Hollywood biopic standards, this preposterous farrago has Wilde's Chopin, a Polish freedom fighter against the Czarist oppressor, forgetting his patriotic principles in the heady wine of Paris, success and Georges Sand's possessive arms, but coming to himself in time to cough out his life's blood on a grand concert tour for the cause. Amazingly stilted kitsch, packed with unspeakable dialogue.Author: TM
