The very first movie I looked up when I stumbled on the IMDB was "Counterpoint." For years I had told people about this movie and how much of an impact it had on me, but no one had ever seen it -- some tried to convince me that I had imagined the whole thing! In their defense, it is a rather strange plot. I give this movie a substantial amount of the credit for beginning my appreciation for classical music. Unfortunately, you can only see it by purchasing it (I would presume). If the idea of a WWII/classical music/POW/intensely-driven-conductor movie sounds stupid, it probably isn't worth the price. If it sounds like it's right up your alley -- you shouldn't be disappointed.

This is a solid movie for a night alone with the wife and a bottle of good wine. I've been thinking of the movie quite a bit lately because of the fabulous views of the New York skyline, pre-September 11th. Also, I think the soundtrack is wonderful. It is one of those CDs that I keep returning to year after year. Good stuff.
