It stars Leslie Howard as a married virtuoso violinist who falls in love with his accompanist, played by Ingrid Bergman in her Hollywood debut.

[citation needed] The score by Lou Forbes was nominated for an Academy Award,[1] and music credit was given to Robert Russell Bennett, Max Steiner, Heinz Provost and Christian Sinding.

[2] Holger Brandt, a celebrated virtuoso violinist, meets Anita Hoffman, his daughter's piano instructor, during a trip home.

He takes the injured Ann Marie back home and confronts his angry son in an attempt to explain his infidelity.

[3] Bergman plays the full piano parts (for Edvard Grieg's Concerto in A minor and Christian Sinding's "Rustle of Spring"), so her hand positions are correct for the music soundtrack.
