Perhaps Kenny R.  is putting a lot of himself into these movies.  After
"Women in Love" I'd swear I'd never watch one of his composer movies, and
I never have.  I wasn't old enough to watch "The Music Lovers" when it came
out, and I didn't think that Roger Daltry as Franz Liszt would be bearable.
Life does go on.
