    5 out of 5 stars The Best Time.......2007-04-05

    Strauss is my very favorite of the Composer series. I didn't know he had a brother who was also a composer. The storyline about him helping the stable boy was intriguing. There also seemed to be a little sibling rivalry between him and his brother. The mother was trying to get Mr. Strauss to compose at home but he chose to compose at the Duchess' home instead where he met the stable boy and his mother.
    When the boy's stepfather was finally arrested for trying to sell an expensive brooch of the Duchess and substitute a cheap paste copy after his stepson caught him, I thought I detected a little chemistry between Strauss and the mother. That was not the purpose of the story though so it just left one wondering.
    I also never knew just how many wonderful waltzes that Johann Strauss wrote. The Vienna Woods one that he composed supposedly in the Duchess' honor was so pretty and according to the story, the boy blowing on his horn in the woods gave him the idea at least for the introduction.
    Very good movie and all will like it I'm sure.
