	Humoresque
		Humoresque, based on the Fanny Hurst novel and previously filmed as a silent in 1920, centers around Paul Boray, a gifted violinist from a poor immigrant family in depression-era New York.
		Levant, who was a friend and collaborator of George Gershwin’s in real life, has many scenes in Humoresque which beautifully showcase his skills as both a pianist and a humorist, and his character in the film provides witty, sophisticated comic relief amidst the drama of the plot.
		Humoresque is often referred to as "one of Crawford’s best".

	DVD Verdict Review - Humoresque
		As its inclusion in the Joan Crawford Collection testifies, Humoresque is typically thought of as one of Joan Crawford's most effective star vehicles, with many fans declaring that her turn as Helen Wright is one of her best performances as an actress.
		Besides the original theatrical trailer, the sole extra provided on this disc is a short featurette called "The Music of Humoresque," which brings together several film historians and composers, as well as Waxman's son John W. Waxman and Garfield's daughter, actress Julie Garfield, to talk about the music's impact and role in the film.
		Humoresque is a perfect example of the kind of lavish, high-class films that the Hollywood studios excelled at from the 1930s through the 1950s.

	Franz Waxman: Humoresque
		Humoresque, however, would have taken a ton of creative self-absorption to resist.
		This tale of a selfish society dame and an ambitious violinist tapped every facet of Waxman's background - from his German jazz club days, through the extremes of his conservatory acquirements and acquaintances, from Weill to Wagner by way of Broadway and Bizet.
		For both the Crawford and Garfield characters have an impossible problem, in that they are both the centre of their respective universes, and in no universe I've heard of can there be two foci.

		With a name like Humoresque you might be expecting something lighthearted and fun.
		But no: The title refers to a Dvorak symphony, and Humoresque is anything but funny.

		Humoresque scored only one Oscar nomination, for Franz Waxman's score, despite doing brisk business and featuring some of Crawford's finest work, arguably even better than her Oscar-winning title role in Mildred Pierce a year earlier.
		Not only was Joan Crawford at the height of her beauty and glamour when she made Humoresque - she was also at the height of her acting ability, having just won the Oscar for Mildred Pierce.
		And her character in Humoresque was, as Joan described, "a woman with too much time on her hands and too much love in her heart." Perhaps that was the real Joan Crawford, a woman clinging to her career and the fans that loved her, when nobody else did.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Humoresque (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		A luscious opera of melodramatic folderol, 1946's Humoresque is one of those delightfully engrossing pictures of overblown emotions made nearly lyrical by the classical music that underwrites them.
		John Garfield stars as Paul Boray, a young street kid who falls in love with the violin as a youth (and is played at age eight by Robert Blake… no comment).
		Humoresque is the very definition of what was (often derisively) referred to as a "woman's picture," and it lives up the assumptions one can make from that description.

	SoundStage! Nadja Solerno-Sonnenberg - Humoresque
		This question is in part answered on Salerno-Sonnenberg’s latest CD on Nonesuch entitled Humoresque, a grab bag of pieces recorded over the course of 1997 in the US and in England.
		Most notable are the tracks composed and arranged in the 1940s by the great Hollywood composer Franz Waxman for the Warner Brothers classic film Humoresque starring John Garfield and Joan Crawford.
		The film score was also one of the early commercial triumphs of the young violinist Isaac Stern.

		The date was etched in my brain because I have NEVER been so overwhelmed by pure genius in my life before or since.
		In HUMORESQUE we see a dedicated young musician (John Garfield) meet a wealthy possessive woman (Joan Crawford) who takes an obsessive interest in him and his career as a violinist.

		In Humoresque, an older Crawford was still able to achieve this level of performance paired off with the younger male star.
		Let's face it - women have a great advantage acting (perhaps women are always acting) - besides being better looking than men, they can emote more without going out of gender role.
		Humoresque has a left-wing political component to it that's easy for us to miss today.

	Movie Info for Humoresque on MSN Movies
		Fannie Hurst's novel Humoresque is the lachrymose tale of a famed Jewish-American violinist who forgets all about his friends and family in his rise to fame.
		The ultrastylish suffering of Joan Crawford and the street-punk insouciance of John Garfield (who looks like a "Dead End Kid" even while wearing a tux) is counterpointed by the phlegmatic comedy relief of Oscar Levant.
		Together with Mildred Pierce, Humoresque is the best of the Warner Bros. Joan Crawford vehicles.

	Humoresque (1946) Movie Review - RopeofSilicon.com
		In this acclaimed and profound exploration of desire, Crawford makes Helen a rich, layered character torn between selfless love and selfish impulses.
		Humoresque's production values extend to the musical interludes, dubbed by Isaac Stern.
		Garfield's dazzling technique is thanks to two real violinists hidden behind him one to do the fingering and one the bow work.
