Iturbi knows that some fellow musicians and a good many critics deplore his Hollywood monkeyshines, and the flashiness that has come into his playing. Says he: "To some musicians the only great thing in the world is a Beethoven symphony. With me life is like a meal, and music is the roast beef. But what good is roast beef by itself? I must have my coffee and dessert and cigar . . . my airplane, my boxing and my motorcycle."
*Because he is under contract to MGM, Iturbi received no screen credit for his work in the Columbia picture.
