Dramatized with a romantic new star team... Drawn not from yesterday's story books but from the living world of today."; "An intense and absorbing tale, with the wide, powerful sweep of a great human document... teeming with the passionate and the genial and the bittersweet..."; "Millions of people share the heart-gripping problems portrayed by these three"; about a famous violinist having an affair with a young girl) starring Leslie Howard, Ingrid Bergman (billed as "Introducing Ingrid Bergman"), Edna Best, John Halliday, Cecil Kellaway, Enid Bennett, and Ann E. Todd. Note that producer David O. Selznick was certain that Ingrid Bergman would be a huge star when he signed her to a contract in 1938, having seen her Swedish movies. To play it safe, for her first U.S. movie, he chose to re-make one of her earlier Swedish successes, "Intermezzo", which she had made in 1936 with an all-Swedish cast, in Swedish of course. Selznick's instincts were correct (as he had been so often before, and would be again), and Bergman DID become a huge international star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
