Filmed on a lavish budget in glorious Technicolor, Republic's I've Always Loved You stars Philip Dorn as a tyrannical symphony conductor and Catherine McLeod as his gifted young pianist protegee. In his own way, Dorn loves McLeod, but it is he who destroys her career by browbeating her mercilessly during her Carnegie Hall debut. Effortlessly stealing the film from the leads are Maria Ouspenskaya as one "Mme. Goronoff" and comedy relief Fritz Feld. The plot of I've Always Loved You is rather derivative of several like-vintage British "concerto" films, but the classical music passages, performed by piano virtuoso Artur Rubinstein, are well worth the admission price. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion
Here's a musical drama in the wholesome Deanna Durbin format but with the clandestine erotic charge of King Vidor
-
Dan Callahan, Slant Magazine
The film is redeemed, finally, through the sheer, crazy belief in romance that Frank Borzage imbues in the film as it goes on.
