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.
