Short film about violinist Stuart Canin who ended up playing for Harry Truman, Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill during a break during the Potsdam conference.
Wonderful look at a small happening during a big event. That the film is as entertaining as it is is due entirely to Canin ho is a charming raconteur. He's the sort of a guy who you'd like to sit down with and have him tell you about his life.
Its a stunning little film and one that really should be seen- even more so since the New York Jewish Film Festival screening will be followed by a reconstruction of the performance by violinist Stuart Canin and pianist Thomas Sauer as well as an on-stage discussion with Canin; the film’s producer Abraham Sofaer; director Sam Ball; and Stanford University historian Norman Naimark. Its going to be a once in a life time event and a must see.
