Dear Bruce,
I've been meaning to see this movie, but I keep missing it. Helfgott did a
couple of recitals last October in the Sydey Opera House which were quickly
booked out before I could get my act together and buy a ticket. The story
is apparently pretty much true, although some in the Helfgott family are
unhappy with the somewhat forbidding portrayal of the father. Is the organ
you mention Australian? If so, I might recognise it. I'll make a point of
seeing it soon.
