- Synopsis:
The times and music of composer Edvard Grieg spring to life amidst Norway's blazing midnight sun, snow-capped mountains, cascading waterfalls and ice-kissed fjords in this delightful film based on the popular Broadway play of the 40's and shot on actual locations where it all happened. Focusing on Grieg's (Norwegian actor Toralv Maurstad) early life, the story traces his struggle for recognition and his rise to triumph as one of Europe's most popular musical talents. Edward G. Robinson plays an older Piano dealer who shows faith in Grieg when no one else will, and Robert Morley as a rich merchant willing to become Greig's patron-but at a price. A tribute to one of the most enduring of the great masters. - Actors:
