Trivia
Prologue: "Felix Mendelssohn, one of the world's foremost composers, was born of Jewish parents, in Germany, February 3, 1809. His material worries were minimized by family wealth, and consequently he devoted much of his time to helping musicians less fortunate than himself - as illustrated in the following incident, said to have taken place near Leipzig, over a hundred years ago."

Epilogue: "And all this is just to remind us that Mendelssohn lived in a world of blossoms, shared his possessions with his fellowmen and passed on, leaving the truest record of his life in music."

Not great, but watchable

This short film was written, directed and produced by James Patrick and is a supposedly true story about the generosity of Felix Mendelssohn as well as the inspiration for his famous "wedding march". While I am certainly NOT an expert on the man, the entire piece strongly sounded like a complete work of fiction. Despite this, the film is reasonably entertaining and worth a peek, as it's a relatively early piece of Technicolor film AND the film is rather pretty to look at, as the color saturation is good and the people looked rather real.

Oddly, just before I saw this film, I saw Hollywood PARTY (1937)--another early MGM Technicolor short. However, unlike MENDELSSOHN'S WEDDING MARCH, the color was just grotesque--with over-saturated film and colors so vivid it made my eyes bleed. Thankfully, the process was perfected in the two years between the films.
