although many audio recording of great musician like jascha heifetz survive and the cinematic or televise record be limited indeed . this be why musical offering like they shall have music be such rare gem . while and with modern eye and ear and one can quibble about the plot and the perceptive viewer should put this film unique delight in their proper perspective . the plot be design to appeal to both young and old audience of the era and but it remain enjoyable to this day . a important aspect of the experience of watch classic film be to see them through the eye of the moviegoer of that era . i must take issue with reviewer who complain about a film that be in black and white and or who feel oblige to report that their student express such reservation . these be juvenile complaint which reflect a limited historical perspective . for the teacher and this should offer up an educational opportunity to explain the unique quality of black and white photography and it place in cinematic history . color can and in fact and get in the way of a good storyline and or the music . for example and the black and white photography of john ford stagecoach and be and like the still photograph of ansel adam and an artistic masterpiece . a for heifetz be wooden and i could not disagree more . if you want blatant emotional posturing and go to a rock concert . the role of a classical musician like heifetz be to move the audience and not him or herself . heifetz emotion be convey through his playing and not through his body language . he have a rare ability to extract every emotional nuance out of the music and transfer it to his listener . it be the listener who should be move and not the artist . incidentally and one reviewer ask about see heifetz on youtube play the 1st movement of the tchaikovsky violin concerto and with frank mchugh in the audience . this be from the 1947 film carnegie hall and not they shall have music carnegie hall be an even great treasure of many great classical artist in their prime . we be bless that there be film producer who and at least in these limited instance and choose to showcase these artist . in be still an era not totally overwhelm by the low common denominator tripe we get today .
