He received a scholarship for medical school, but turned it down in favor of his new love, the theatre. A natural athlete and a champion fencer with the U.S. ...more about Cornel Wilde

[W]here Wilde departs from many of his models is his determination to show the harshness of the scenario they now occupy. At the start of the movie the director goes out of his way to show how badly the environment has deteriorated, due to man's wanton pollution, thanks to a very effective montage involving a mixture of rather disturbing found footage of rivers and skies clogged up with noxious chemicals, starving children and overcrowded cities. This is followed by more documentary footage (along with some staged scenes) of animal carcases floating in English rivers and streams, open sewers and blackened grasslands. He then goes onto address, in a confrontational manner, some of the basic problems encountered by survivors from this type of disaster including the lack of sanitary facilities, the eating of much-love family pets and the abandonment of the old and the weak, along with the disposal of the dead (including a new-born baby). Some people may find Wilde's approach to this heavy-handed.

A portrait of a famous romance is featured in this biopic that plays fast and loose with the story of the most beloved composer of the Romantic era, Frederic Chopin (Cornel Wilde). After fleeing Poland with his teacher (Paul Muni) for refusing to play for the Czarist governor, Chopin settles in Paris, becomes a fashionable composer, runs away to Majorca with writer George Sand (Merle Oberon). Muni attempts to coax the prodigy back to touring, and Oberon encourages him to stay with her and write. Wilde's patriotism wins out and he returns to the stage to raise money for Polish revolutionaries. Wilde and Oberon make a dashingly romantic pairing, so who cares if the story doesn't match the history books? First-rate music by famed pianist José Iturbi, who dubbed the playing for Wilde.
