Magic Fire

1956, Movie, NR, 94 mins

starstarstarstar
Tepid biography of brilliant German composer Richard Wagner, starring Badel (whose portrayal hardly lives up to Wagner's playboy reputation) as the title character and De Carlo as his first wife. The film concentrates on the composer's complicated love life, with only excerpts of his greatest works, produced under the steady supervision of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, to relieve the boredom. MAGIC FIRE fails to enlighten the viewer concerning Wagner or his music. leave a comment
