  Despite what Patrick describes as "painful", this is quite a good little film about a person born on a liner in 1900. (He is found abandoned under a dining table by one of the stokers who was scavenging for dropped valuables/stogies).

  The child is raised on board, and has a unique talent for the piano. He becomes the pianist for the ship's band, and his amazing ability creates a strange legend about the world's greatest pianist who has never set foot on land.

  The piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton is a highlight.

  It is an Italian production, but the script is entirely in English.

  Tim Roth is very good as the lead, and worth seeing.

      Considering that you and me are the only ones who have seen it.

      As for "cross- eyed", did you mean Max the trumpet player ? I think he has a lazy eye.

      I liked the soundtrack too- Morricone as usual.

        He was looking for an expression.. lazy eye, that´s it ! Thank you !
        I really think his films are all fakes... they duplicated emotions that in reality he do not feels...Because of the good play of actors and others benefic factors , he can diverted from his real failure.
        Morricone has long lost his touch...
        Too bad, we are the only one, here, to discuss the fil..but as we are of absolutely different point of view, it can be fun, too !
