Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

A Song to Remember (1945)

The IMDb plot outline reads "Biography of Frederic Chopin." Ummm...yeah. That's kinda like saying The Da Vinci Code will tell you the true story of Christ.

Chopin's a Polish Revolutionary (!) who escapes to Paris after enraging the powers that be in his homeland. There he becomes a celebrity of the "leave me alone with my genius" variety -- forgetting his younger ideals. Don't worry, though, because when he's really needed he'll give a concert that kills him for dear old Poland!

Pretty much just a bunch of junky fictional melodrama with pretty music.
