Humoresque Movie Review 1946

Talented but struggling young musician Paul Boray (Garfield) finds a patron in the married, wealthy, and older Helen Wright (Crawford). His appreciation is not as romantic as she hoped. Stunning performance from Crawford, with excellent supporting cast (Levant supplies the witty comebacks), including a young Robert Blake as a young Paul. Fine music sequences (Isaac Stern dubbed the violin), and lush production values.
