Harris was out of his element on this one--no Jackson Pollack performance this time. The whole thing was, well, "trite".

PS. Early on we are told no woman was ever a "copyist" before.

Yes, but any woman seriously pursuing a career the arts in 1825 Vienna would have been subjected to something a lot more like what Jackie Robinson experienced in baseball.

The movie seemed to me much more like Mary Tyler Moore episode with crusty but loveable Ol Lou. I suspect Beethoven would have more likely to burn her manuscript than play it.
