I loved this movie and I'm a grandpa so yeah...I had to wipe the snot from my nose and tears off my chin on this one. It seems almost every movie I've seen lately has some ultra bitch in it too..Some things never change.. There are still women out there who think they crap out roses. Well enjoy this one.. great movie!

SYMPHONY OF LIVING still maintains a charm and is very entertaining. Al Shean is excellent, as is the supporting cast.

His ungrateful and shiftless adult children abandon him in his time of need. He survives through the grace of kind new friends only to become the teacher of his greatest pupil, a child prodigy, who turns out to be his own grandson! The film was much better than I ever expected!

Shortly after the violinist gets his hand smashed in an accident, his two kids desert him (Daughter goes off to be married, Son runs off heaven knows where). Soon, hes out of a job (because of his bum hand), gets kicked out of his plum apartment, and has to…
