Goofs
During the flashback when Liszt is notating the music for Dream of Love; on the second page in the first measure there is the note E-Flat written as an E with the flat symbol next to it. However, since the song is already in the key of A-Flat which includes E-Flat in the scale, it is not necessary to notate the Flat symbol next to the E note. This is only done if the previous E-note was notated as an E-Natural and even then the flat symbol would be placed in parenthesis.

Quotes
Cosima: I've polished your sword! What do you want it for, to kill the critics?
Liszt: Time kills critics, my dear.

collector's of The Who will love it!

As a collector of Who memorabilia, I found this movie to be quite interesting and entertaining, what's more, if one pays attention they can see that this truly is the work of Ken Russell. Though it could also fit into the category of "soft porn" and is in no way to be taken as strict fact of Franz Liszt's life it is a great movie for those who like the bizarre (Who fan's will note cameo appearance by Townshend) If you like this movie, check out Ken Russell's Mahler, starring Robert Powell (Capt. Walker in Tommy) thank you
