Entertainment Reviews:
History is bunk, and the conception of creative genius as half-baked as, say, a Ken Russell film, in that it's purely love that makes the music flow.

Anyone moved by musical richness and pictorial splendor should go quite nutty over this film.

New York Times
Most of the venerable Hollywood clichés about the night-thoughts of musical geniuses are doggedly repeated, and some of the concert-hall excerpts are annoyingly brief. On the whole, though, it's an item worth seeing and hearing.

Maclean's Magazine
A must-see motion picture for music lovers, an enriching experience for family audiences, and a particularly compelling attraction for social security eligibles.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The romantic story of Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt (Dirk Bogarde), whose scandalous love affair forced him to abandon his adoring audiences.
Product Description:
Buoyed by an Academy Award-winning score, this powerful musical biography began shooting under the direction of Charles Vidor, but when he became ill, George Cukor completed the film. SONG WITHOUT END tells the romantic story of Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt, the troubled virtuoso whose scandalous affair with a married countess forced him to abandon performing and become a composer. Dirk Bogarde portrays Franz Liszt, who leaves his mistress, Countess Marie (Genevieve Page), to go on a concert tour to reaffirm his reputation as the mid-19th century's greatest pianist. In the process he meets Carolyne (Parisian fashion model Capucine, in her debut), a devoutly religious Russian princess, and becomes greatly influenced by her beliefs.
