Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles The life of pianist Eddy Duchin. He was perhaps the most famous of pianists who started his own dance band, then at the height of his career, discovered he had leukemia. Carmen Cavallaro dubs at the keyboard. Academy Award Nominations: 4, including Best Motion Picture Story.
This sentimental biography looks at the triumphs and heartbreaks in the life of Eddy Duchin, the pianist/bandleader from the 1930s-40s, who was known as "10 Magic Fingers." Awed by the bright lights of New York City, young Eddy (Tyrone Power) arrives with grand hopes of playing in the orchestra at the Central Park Casino. But the pianist quickly learns the cold, hard reality of the music business. Then he falls in love and marries Marjorie Oelrichs (Kim Novak), but their blissful time together proves to be short-lived, when Marjorie dies giving birth to their son Peter. Eddy becomes withdrawn and, in his grief, is unable to show affection for his son. Carmen Cavallaro played the piano score for this film.
Featured songs: Chopin's "Nocturne in E flat," "Body and Soul," "Manhattan," "You're My Everything," "Let's Fall in Love," "Sweet Sue," "Whispering," "I'll Take Romance," and "Chopsticks."

Eddy Duchin Story Movie Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Get out the kleenex !
Watery eyes guaranteed throughout for this excellently acted biopic with a phenomenal soundtrack which unfortunately seems to be unavailable on CD ! How could I have lived so long without never having seen this film. The DVD is only available in the USA and seems unknown in Europe

GREAT
Tyrone Power was perfect, and the performance of "Aquarela do Brasil" was perfect. One of the greatest moment of the movie. Kim Novak, simply beautiful.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No An Oldie but a Goodie!
I have seen this movie at least 10 times, and I remember I was a very young girl when I first watched it. I remember loving it then, the music, the outfits and the love story. Today I still love it! If you like nostalgic movies and great music, this is the movie for you. Oh..and the acting was pretty good too!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Tragic But True
The love that these two young people felt for each other was an "AGAPE" type love; and, you have to walk in his/her shoes to understand it. Also, the music is just fantastic.

Eddy Duchin Story review
$10.85
The sequel to Eddie Murphy's smash hit family comedy, DR DOLITTLE, will certainly not disappoint fans of the first film. Murphy returns as the doctor, who has now garnered some measure of fame for his communication abilities, at least among the animal kingdom. Dolittle is also dealing with his rebellious teenage daughter (Raven Symone). But he drops everything when he's summoned by "The Beaver," the Godfather figure of the local forest, to help the animals preserve their home by stopping an overly aggressive lumber company. To save the forest, Dolittle has to take a trained performing bear (also an endangered species, who is endearingly voiced by Steve Zahn)--and introduce him to the wild to find a mate. Zahn's bear, who ...
