Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPrologue: "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."

Here Comes The Bride
Here's another of the occasional musical shorts that James A. Fitzpatrick produced for MGM. He's best remembered for the enormous number of Technicolor travelogues he produced and narrated for MGM, but his earliest work was producing musical shorts for Pathe starting in 1925; presumably the house orchestra played appropriate accompaniment back in those days.
This one is a a fanciful extravaganza about Mendelssohn, shot in gorgeous Technicolor, with Mendelssohn's best-remembered music used both as background score and incidental pieces. The MGM lot never looked better than in this beautifully preserved piece that plays occasionally on Turner Classic Movies.
