• This was a brilliant film by the director Ken Russell. The musical score was Tchaikovsky`s own music carefully selected and introduced to provide an excellent background to the story. Richard Chamberlain was an excellent Tchaikovsky, his performance, sympathetic as a gay man and a neurotic, confused individual, cast against the brilliant Glenda Jackson as Antonina, who provided a desperate and sad character struggling with her desire to marry.The marriage lasted just 14 days and caused Tchaikovsky a nervous breakdown and his wife to end up in a lunatic asylum.
