Wonderful piano and lovely songs


What a thrilling surprise to hear songs from "The Great American Songbook" with incredible piano (mostly) accompaniment! I would not recommend this movie for anyone seeking explosions, car chases, or other special effects. Just listen, however, to the nuanced, imaginative piano that accompanies each of the seldom heard songs. I checked this out of the library, but I now intend to buy my own copy simply for the music. After a very stressful day, I was delightfully stirred by the music, especially the piano playing. In fact, I found my usual critical viewing (acting, plot, lighting, editing, directing) all pretty much relegated as inconsequential due to the risky, yes, risky, use of a musical genre little found in today's movies.
