Rhapsody in Blue (Warner) is a finer memorial to the late, great George Gershwin than Hollywood, after its tinselly tributes to Chopin (A Song to Remember) and Victor Herbert .
But what makes the scalp tighten when backed by sound effects and Bernard Herrmann's excellent score and eloquent silences frequently looks tinselly in type.
German Authoress Baum has enough gusto to invest even tinselly happenings with glamour, though her sugary Teutonic melodrama should be taken with a heaping teaspoonful of salt.
