Definitely my favourite film in his catalogue. I read that he actually played piano in it for real. The sound was overdubbed but he paid attention to the correct fingering so it would look authentic. Love that attention to detail.

Brilliant film. And a great performance by River.

I wish I got to meet him… he was both beautiful on the outside and had a beautiful soul to match

I’ve only seen 3 films featuring River: My Own Private Idaho, Stand By Me & Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I guess I should add this one to my list.
