Synopsis
Musician Max Tooney goes to sell his prized Conn trumpet to a music shop, where he plays the instrument one last time. The shopkeeper recognises the song as one on a record matrix he found and asks who the piece is by. Tooney tells the story of an infant found abandoned in the first class dining room of the four-stacker ocean-liner SS Virginian on 1 January 1900. Danny Boodman, a coal-man from the boiler room, names the boy Danny Boodman T. D. Lemon 1900, after himself, the fruit crate the boy was found in, and the year, and raises him as his own.

If you appreciate the piano even a little bit, you'll love this movie with all your heart. And otherwise probably too.

Yesterday I watched The Professor (1986). Only my third film by Giuseppe Tornatore who I don't really like as I hated Cinema Paradiso (1988). So I was surprised to find The Professor to be a masterpiece and thought I'd give this one a go as my evaluation of him might have been too harsh. And this film is known as one of his best. But no, I hated this too. How you can go from The Professor to Cinema Paradiso and this, I have no idea. Radically different in style and subject. I was bored out of my brains after the first ten minutes and I struggled to pay attention. It sucked so much I had trouble following it. I don't know what you are all seeing in it.
