  • "Biographical film about George Gershwin; his rise from music hall pianist to revered composer."
  • "De film volgt het leven van de beroemde componist George Gershwin.Hoe hij zich van kleine artiest uit Manhattan ontpopt tot één van de grootste sterren. Terwijl zijn beroemdheid en werk groeit, vindt hij geen tijd meer voor romantiek. Zijn twee vriendinnen, de muzikale cabaret-ster Julie Adams en socialiste Christine Gilbert beseffen dat ze altijd op een tweede plaats zullen komen."

  • "Bio-pic about the legendary American composer George Gershwin (1898-1937). Played by Robert Alda, this is a moving tribute to one of America's premier musical artists. Following years of practice and an assortment of jobs, Gershwin experienced his first success with 'Swanee' (sung in the film by the man who made it famous, the inimitable Al Jolson). Despite his ensuing accomplishments with hit songs and stage success, the musical genius yearned for something greater - to create a unique American music, combining European classics and popular songs. The realisation of Gershwin's dream is what is perhaps his best-known work - the fourteen-minute piece entitled 'Rhapsody in Blue', played in full in the film. A largely fawning screenplay contains several pieces of fiction, including two women who vie (in vain) for Gershwin's affections. The film is best descibed as a two-hour musical feast of classic Gershwin. Several Gershwin contemporaries play themselves in the film, including Oscar Levant, Hazel Scott, George White, Al Jolson and Paul Whiteman."@en
