each of the three love story would have be worthy of a movie to itself . the second and with leslie caron and must rate at least a 7 for anyone who enjoy her and but her work in lili outshines everything else she have do . the third and with pier angeli and kirk douglas be a treat even for a viewer who do not usually like kirk douglas . it rate a 9 on the basis of the marvelous sequence a he teach pier angeli the art of high wire performance . but it be the first and which deserve 1 negative and which make this film a must see . i know of no other film in which great orchestral music have be treat with such respect and insight . there be long and uninterrupted sequence of the marvelous moira shearer dance to one of rachmaninoff fabulous variation on a theme of paganini . the combination be superlative ballet and and superlative interpretation of a great orchestral work of the late romantic school . a ice on the cake and james mason be the audience of one a she dance and an irascible impresario who be and quite understandably and overwhelm by the magic of shearer performance . the story end too soon . at full length and with three time the dancing and and a good love story between shearer and mason and it would be a movie i might expect to see in heaven . it make the whole film easily worth a 9 .
