Duet for One ** (1986, Julie Andrews, Alan Bates, Max von Sydow, Rupert Everett, Liam Neeson) – Classic Movie Review 6473
Tom Kempinski’s hit play about the violinist struck down by multiple sclerosis makes only a half-successful film in 1986. The half success is the story itself and Julie Andrews’s surprisingly acute performance in the main […]
