so bad, in fact, that Salieri's descendents should sue for liable.Nevertheless, I quite enjoy the original. Re: the latter, applying logic to a fallacious premise never appealed to me.
Tom Hulce is a vulgar Mozart, but the part of Mozart's that was uncontrolled and irrepressible is quite accurately displayed. He gambled so much that these days (well, 10 years ago) the mob woulda had him whacked for his failure to pay.
And the bit about his wife and her. . . er . . . uh . . . less than supportive nature and less than noble motives would seem to be dead right. But then, how much patience was she supposed to have?
Whatever: terrific movie with even better music.
