The Magic Bow: Review

starstarstarstar
This biographical film is nothing more than a poorly strung series of cliches, and takes more than a few liberties with the life story of violinist Paganini. Granger is the musician, who falls for both Calvert and a Stradivarius. She's a rich woman who returns the beloved violin to him, after the plucky musician loses it gambling. After several love complications, including Granger's duel with a Napoleonic soldier, Calvert arranges for her beloved to play before the Pope. Of course, Granger's a success and it's happily-ever-after time. Despite some good performances, THE MAGIC BOW is drenched with cliched situations and plot developments. Ultimately, the story ends up a dull, insignificant bit of tripe, though Menuhin's violin on Paganini's solos does give the film some desperately needed class. Musical selections include: "The Devil's Trill" (Giuseppe Tartini); "La Ronde des Lutins" (Brazzini); "Campanella"; "Caprice" No. 20; Violin Concerto No. 1; "Introductions et Variations" (Nicolo Paganini); Violin Concerto, Op. 61, last movement (Ludwig Von Beethoven); "Romance" (Phil Greene, based on a theme by Paganini). leave a comment
