An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10 3/4" x 13 3/4" [27 x 35 cm] Movie Still (Learn More)

A Song to Remember, the 1945 Charles Vidor classical music biographical melodrama ("As long as all the world loves a lover... this romance will live!"; "A new kind of motion picture! A new miracle of Technicolor!"; "A glorious new form of entertainment in Technicolor!"; "As long as dreamers dream... as long as lovers love... Their story will be remembered!"; "Shocking? Scandalous? Shameful?"; "All-embracing! All-consuming! All-powerful!"; about composer Frederic Chopin) starring Paul Muni, Merle Oberon (as George Sand), Cornel Wilde (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Frederic Chopin), Nina Foch, George Coulouris, Stephen Bekassy (as Franz Lizst), George Macready, and Gregory Gaye. Note that this movie as originally set to be directed by Frank Capra after he completed Lost Horizon with Francis Lederer as Chopin, Paul Muni as Elsner and Marlene Dietrich as George Sand (Capra had first tried to borrow Spencer Tracy and Greta Garbo from MGM, but they refused). But production delays on Lost Horizon forced Capra to abandon the project, and it sat dead for eight years, until Columbia Pictures revived the project in 1944 with Charles Vidor directing and while Paul Muni still starred as Elsner, Merle Oberon and Cornel Wilde were hired for the other leads. Capra sued for breach of contract in 1946 but the lawsuit was eventually was settled out of court. Interestingly, director Vidor, who perhaps was unhappy with this movie, finally started to film it in 1960 as "Song Without End", but he died of a heart attack during filming and was replaced by George Cukor, so that was his final movie. Finally, note that Paul Muni always had a contract that required he be top billed, so he was top billed here, even though he is clearly not the star of the movie! In addition, Columbia was surely afraid of how this movie would do at the box office (biographies of composers do not usually do well), and so they created an ad campaign built around a "jury" of stars proclaiming that "A Song to Remember is the most thrillingly different picture we've ever seen... a glorious new standard in picture entertainment", and that jury consisted of a VERY eclectic group, including Rita Hayworth, Frank Sinatra, Kate Smith, Fritz Kreisler, Irene Dunne, James Montgomery Flagg, Ginger Rogers, Benny Goodman, Edward G. Robinson, Al Jolson, Bob Ripley (of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not"), and Abbott & Costello, and the movie received a very large and elaborate pressbook!
