Sentimental Journey of a Music Teacher

Rating: 7/10 (2 May 2020)

A stymied composer finds fulfillment as a high school English teacher (played by Richard Dreyfuss) in this overly sentimental film that is more about music than it is a musical. The soundtrack, however, runs the gamut from Gershwin to Beethoven and is a pleaser for anyone thinking about a career in music or feeling sentimental about a music teacher. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
