“André Previn at 80! It scarcely seems credible. This is the man who won 4 Oscars almost 60 years ago, and still maintains a full conducting, playing and composing schedule, each discipline of which would exhaust a man half his age. And he really is a phenomenal pianist, a conductor of profound insights, and a composer of considerable tonal originality. I once asked how many songs he had written. After much hesitation, he told me he couldn’t really remember. And that was not modesty; he just had no idea. In fact, there are hundreds, in a sense culminating in his much underestimated opera, A Streetcar Named Desire, which is how we met. This film was made during the preparations, rehearsals and first performances of that opera in San Francisco. This filming took place during the twelve months leading up to the San Francisco première. Wherever he went, we went with him.” - Tony Palmer

‘A profoundly disquieting study of loneliness and the frailty of human relationships. As Tennessee Williams says in the film: “We all devour each other….in our fashion.”’ - New York Times
