Interesting
stories about the film
Two tutors trained Stewart Granger,
who starred Paganini for the film, for his posture and violin playing. The
actual music was recorded by Yehudi Menuhin, a British virtuoso born in the
United States. He used two violins and took six weeks to create great music
from the film.
Thank you.
