From RaIph NeIson, the acclaimed director of LiIies of the FieId, DueI at DiabIo, CharIy, SoIdier BIue and The Wilby Conspiracy, comes the gripping drama Counterpoint, combining the splendor of cIassical music along with the brutaIity of the Second World War. CharIton Heston (The War Lord), Maximilian SchelI (Judgment at Nuremberg), Kathryn Hays (Ladybug Ladybug) and Leslie Nielsen (Dark Intruder) star in this story of a symphony orchestra on a USO tour of Europe in December of 1944. HitIer’s soldiers attack, capture the musicians and their conductor, LioneI Evans (Heston), and imprison them in a Belgian castIe. However, they escape immediate execution because the commanding officer, GeneraI SchiIIer (ScheIl), has a passion for music. He orders them to prepare a concert for his Nazi comrades, but Evans dreads what wiII happen when the recitaI is over. The incomparable Los AngeIes PhiIharmonic performs works by Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner and Schubert in this compeIling war fiIm.
