It's 9/10 cause it makes me cried for what happened to the main character,it makes me wanted to make my own remake of this...by writing my own plot part 2...i wish Hadley...how i wish...what a terrible movie,it makes u cried, flutter and wide eyed.i am not really satisfied to the ending,but Jane Seymour is really really beautiful,she is absolutely Good at her roles...Jane seymour hands up to you,Chris did good job as well,Thanks to this masterpiece,i really really do love this so much but 9/10 coz Hadley....in the ending...
Not a *really* bad performance, but this formula movie didn't have any surprises. Jane Seymour does a great job as the recluse musician, but the story does not even nearly rise to her level. Christopher Gartin does have his moments making all the goofy mistakes that an 18-year-old really makes.
n.b. in the 1990's, there were no rich famous people driving MGA's.

the title is so attractive and expressive , the actor Christopher Gartin was so so expressive , wonderful and convinced me that he is a pianist and also in great love with Hadely in their romantic situations also when he knew that she is ill and going to die, the actress Jane was very expressive , she was serious and some situations needed her to be tough and cruel ..she expressed well ,also she was romantic in some situations , she is a wonderful actress indeed , I enjoyed the classical music in this movie I enjoyed Gartin when he was training , enjoyed his expressions , his dealing with the piano and his looking at the notes as if he is a musician he was clever enough , it is a wonderful romantic movie I adore it

Excellent job of Jane Seymour as Hadley Norman. IMO it's believable. Jane at her best! And a great Christopher Gartin whom I haven't heard of before I saw the movie. Wonderful score and beautiful pictures.If you are a fan of Jane Seymour (I am!) and haven't seen this movie yet, it will move you to tears.
The answer is "No" the actors are not playing the piano. The most telling clue is the hands are located in the wrong registers relative to the music when you see them playing. The close ups show the hands of at least two others who knows how to play the pieces, but the effort expended does not match the soundtrack. If you want to see a better match of actor, stand-in player, and musical dubbing, go see The Seventh Veil, if you can find it on a movie channel.
Otherwise, this is a fairly standard TV movie of a nearly burned out artist who finds a protégé and some emotional fulfillment in a talented young man, Steven.
I guess this was a weeper of the week back in the heyday of 1970's TV movies. Lots of chances to exercise and practice acting, but not enough time to fully develop the story or characters.
