Robert Rounseville stars in the title role of the German romanticist, regaling a tavern crowd about his fantastical but foredoomed love affairs with a beautiful automaton (Moira Shearer), a treacherous courtesan (Ludmilla Tchérina), and a terminally ill soprano (Ann Ayars), in this enthralling blend of opera, ballet, and drama. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; bonus short "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (1956); interview; art gallery; photo gallery; theatrical trailer.
