![]() His wife's a drunk (until the end, when that plot element is forgotten), his mother is a harsh tyrant (except we don't see anything to really suggest that), and his brother is a whining ingrate. As such, much of this plays out as a soap opera rather than as the biography of the world's greatest performer. Huge amounts of his career are glossed over (his mixed-religion marriage, his brief movie career in Hollywood, his piloting skills, and even many of his escapes), and the focus is mostly on his romance with Bess Weiss. This version is merely adequate when it could have been more. ![]() but he can't escape mediocre movie adaptations of his life.
