"The Legend of 1900" is not the most attractive title for a film and the Italian original, "The Legend of the Oceanic Pianist", is no better. in retrospect there is no title worthy of this film. The marquee should read simply "See This Film, Your Life Will Be Better for It."
As its pianist, this film could be bound for success, but the fact is, it remained relatively obscure. I can't understand why did a movie with this deepness and feeling end up in oblivion. Because, if there are some beautiful movies, this is one of them, from the moment that fantastic Ennio Morricone score begins until we witness the tear-jerking finale.
After seeing this movie I went straight to my video store to buy their copy.
Did you know?
There was actually a registered ship named the SS Virginian which was built in 1904 and scrapped around 1954. The ship had one funnel with the Allan Liner's colors on it.
Have the popcorn ready and enjoy!
I watched it when I was a high school student. I have some memories about this movie. A main character played a fast-moving piano in the ship when there was windy weather. After I watched it, I tried to play that song but then that's very difficult. Anyway I love this song. And the ending of the movie is still impressing.
