Many, many years ago I watched a foreign film (non-English) about a man, in an earlier century, who beautifully played a pipe organ in a small church in a small village... Unfortunately, I do not remember a whole lot about the plot, but the basic story line was that he was driven from the town, I think due to his unorthodox style of playing the instrument... the man experienced many hardships, during the middle parts of the film, but I vividly remember the movie concluding with the man finding an opportunity to play one of the largest pipe organs in a cathedral somewhere in Europe. It was one of the most impressive music pieces I had ever heard in my life! Those witnessing the event at the church, were completely overwhelmed by the performance that they could only respond in blank wonderment. The music so moved me, I could not stop thinking about it for weeks!
This was a old black-and-white film, and the preservation quality of the film was not great.. but I think in some ways it added to the atmosphere of the film. My best guess is the film was made in the 30's or 40's, but I'm not sure. I have searched for it using "plot" key words in movie data bases, and I also searched for it on the general internet; but so far, no luck. I unfortunately do not have a title for the movie, so the task of locating it is especially difficult. If anyone has any information that could assist me with locating this film, I would be very grateful! I also would highly recommend the film to all that have any interests in pipe organs.
