The Eddy Duchin Story Reviews
A Movie That Told The Real Story
After seeing the movie, I did some research on the life of Eddy Duchin. The movie closely follows his real life, not a spectacular made up story for the audience. Tyrone Power plays Eddy Duchin powerfully. It is a story of a person who, without any formal paiano training but with a dream. comes to New York to make it through fortitude at the then Casino in Central Park and subsequently at the Waldorf Astoria. It is sad how his wife, played by Kim Novak, dies after child birth and he dies at the age of 31 of leukemia.It reveals the lack of medical knowledge during his time. The music is great. The conflicts between Eddy and his son Peter are brought out. The movie ends on a sad note when Eddy dies after finally obtaining the love of his son who felt abandoned by his father.
Beautiful
This movie tells the history of Eddy Duchin, a great pianist.
The music is performed by Carmen Cavallaro, so that you can see his impressive technique in action.
The scene that shows that bad tuned piano (when Duchin was serving in WWII) and a boy that plays with him remembers his son demonstrates the extreme versatility of Duchin and shows some facets of this tragic life.
