The Life and Loves of Beethoven Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
t upsets me just the same to see the musical cart hitched before the cinema horse and then be constrained to admit it was probably for the best.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Fascinating biopic on the 19th-century Ludwig van Beethoven.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
By turns clunky, corny and downright brilliant, Abel Gance's 1936 biopic on Ludwig Van Beethoven is never less than fascinating
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Easily the best of Gance's talkies, the film's creative lan scarcely wavers even at its most leadenly dramatic.
TV Guide
Abel Gance's film biography of one of the world's greatest composers focuses on what Gance saw to be his only true loves -- music and Holt.
