Humoresque

1946, Warner Bros. [Park Circus]. 125 min. Dir. Jean Negulesco

John Garfield and Joan Crawford make the screen crackle as a gifted violinist and his patroness who fall in love. The passion that drives the violinist sours, however, when Crawford’s character begins to exert her will in domineering and detrimental ways. A profoundly affecting film with an awe-inspiring score.

Young Man with a Horn

1950, Warner Bros. [Park Circus]. 112 min. Dir. Michael Curtiz

Kirk Douglas delivers one of his fiercest performances as a trumpet prodigy who lives for his music, but his arrogance (and alcohol) threaten to ruin him. Doris Day is the loyal singer whose love is unrequited and Lauren Bacall is the woman he craves but can’t comprehend. A study in wasted potential.
