Legend of 1900

One of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in ages! Went thru every emotion one could fit into a movie- unconditional love, friendship, laughter, loss, poignancy, the main character's childlike innocence that never fades, the ultimate 'gotcha' revenge during the dueling pianists...and some of the most awesome keyboard work ever seen in a movie or live performance. Unforgettable was the hysterically funny scene where ship is being tossed about like a bottle cap on the ocean during a huge storm...and the camera follows the polished grand piano- brakes off- with 1900 playing away and a seasick musician holding on for dear life as it sails around and around the grand ballroom - circling, spinning, and then...you see the ceiling to floor stained glass divider slipping by...coming on...almost there... and you can just guess what happens next.
There wasn't a single scene that wasn't magnificently filmed, with outstanding performances by all in the entire movie.
The only downside was the credits didn't list the real names of the actors for many characters, especially the utterly delightful child who played the 5 yr old 'Danny TD Lemon 1900'- whenever that boy was onscreen you couldn't help but laugh and laugh.
I have played this movie for my friends and family - all who think this movie is first class.
There are some films that are see-me- once, others see-me-twice, others see-me-never, and then there are movies like the Legend of 1900 - see-me-anytime
