I'm so glad to have grown up in a time of regular TV where movies like this would appear from time to time. The death of channel surfing means so many people missed out on opportunities to see classic movies they might not otherwise be exposed to.

It's a fun, lighthearted movie with some wonderful music and musicians, and some inside jokes, including having Benny Goodman, "the king of swing," pretending he can't swing at all. And Danny Kay is a treat, as always.

Wonderful juxtaposition of stuffy musicologist being introduced to lively African American roots in boogie woogie and jazz. While the gentleman played a window washer his character could play a mean piano, astounding the learned Ivory tower fixtures with all the branches on music not discussed in the classrooms and seminars.

At least the fixtures were humble enough to take the lesson from a couple of window washers...

We grew up listening to Classical music with mum , big band music with mum and Dad plus Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby (not a fan) then came rock and roll. Through psychedelia, Leonard Cohen etc. I finished up going to Heavy Metal concerts with my son. Now I listen to whatever takes my fancy at the time.

No. He said (correctly) it’s from Grieg’s incidental music for Ibsen’s play, “Peer Gynt” (it’s not a symphony - although it is played by an orchestra. Grieg took a lot of his incidental music from the play and used it in a Suite of pieces) 😃

Awesome. I've been obsessing lately over how this was forty years in my past when I was absorbing Punk and Industrial and Van Halen and Michael Jackson was on the Radio (In fact I'm pretty sure there was still a Big Band radio station), but now Ministry and the Dead Kennedys are 40yrs in my own kid's distant past. I can't get it out of my head that Run DMC and Talking Heads are as far-distant to my kids as Tommy Dorsey and Charley Barnett is to me...

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid!!!

Well don't fool yourself because that kind of music would be very difficult to start with! The rhythms are difficult to master, the two hands coordinating together is a complex process. I agree a lot of material for beginners is boring and could be taught in a more creative way, but even very simplified versions of boogie woogie or ragtime would be very hard for a beginner to do and anyway a super simplified version would be boring anyway!

Trust me: boogie is my final goal to achieve on my piano journey however the rhythm is craaaazy hard. Even with two fingers, really. The bass seems fair lyeasy (four notes) but the rhythm makes it hard to play. Get a good teacher who makes the “boring” stuff interesting. I play bot Mozart and Einaudi, Beethoven and cute Disney stuff. Mixing the syles keeps your motivation high while improves your technique. For me it’ll take years but I love playing so much I know I don’t care, with enough practice I will reach that level. You can do it too. Just never give up!

I do wish that when pianos are played, the person with the camera would get behind the pianist so that we can see the keyboard.

That's a cavalcade of character actors. Felix Bressart, J. Edward Bromberg, Hugh Herbert, Ludwig Stossel, O. Z. Whitehead...and Benny Goodman. But the music is the only reason to view the movie.
