rachmaninoff rhapsody on a theme of paganini be the gorgeous music to which moira shearer dance her lovely ballet in the first story . it a perfect choice for this movie ( and this scene ) because it full of passion and promise . the awed and inspired look on james mason face a he watch her dance express what we and the audience and see represent how dancing make moira character feel . it a move scene and there be 3 beautiful and emotional performance represent moira sheara and james mason and and the music . this rachmaninoff piece have be feature in several movie . these include and among others represent the story of three love ( 1953 ) while rhapsody ( 1954 ) while somewhere in time ( 1980 ) while dead again ( 1991 ) while sabrina ( 1995 ) while ronin ( 1998 ) . it a beautiful and move and timeless piece of music . it be sometimes use in period movie whose action take place before the piece be actually write and first perform . that be in 1934. i enjoy this movie and in spite of the uneven script . there be some great actor give good performance ( at time melodramatic but that the nature of the script more than their acting ability ) and plus ( suprise . ) a young ricky nelson in the only thing i remember see him in a a boy besides the ozzie and harriet tv series and he wasn not stilted like he be on his family show ( probably good directing . ) . some great face shot throughout and too and show emotion that the script couldn not ( use the classic face light technique that have fall out of favor with most of today contemporary film director ) . in spite of some beautiful and memorable scene in this movie and i will probably remember the way the music make me feel long than i will remember the rest of the movie and it worth watch for that alone .
