I got a VHS dub of it about 5 years ago, and is has become one of my most prized posessions. The insane story begins with Paganini needing a new violin. It just so happens that a music professor down the street is running a contest in his apartment. The prize for the best two minute performance gets one of the professor's violins. Paganini wins and takes the Strad. Then, as a favor to a pretty girl, brings the violin to the local prison where he plays it to distract a prison guard while the girl breaks her father out of jail. So far, so good - everything sound fine. But there are a few things in the film I don't think really happened. Assuming they did allow friends of the musicians to ride their horses into the music hall, and enjoy the show from the saddle, I don't believe that one of Paganini's concertos sounded exactly like Beethoven's. Nor do I think that Paganini (1782-1840)ever saw the works of, let alone ever played any of the short pieces by, Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962). But you never know - maybe we'll see them in a new episode of Heroes or Flash Forward, or in a new Star Trek film. In any case, again - this is a great flick. Menuhin gets bigger billing than any of the actors, an his playing is in its prime. I have shown this to several (now former) friends, and none of them liked it, or even watched it past the free dad from jail sceen. My wife sat through the whole thing, but I paid in spades by having to sit through several chick flicks without complaint. You might want to watch this alone before you risk showing it to a loved one, or yourself.Update:December 2011 - I just bought the DVD. It has a much better picture than my old VHS dub had. And the sound, which wasn't bad on my original copy, is a bit better here. With all the improvement, however, it was really difficult to watch this time. The film has such a bad screenplay that I can't even tell if the actors are doing a good job or not. When I wrote the first paragraph of this review 3 years ago, I said this was a movie only a violinist could love. Now I'm not so sure. I don't drink, and I don't do drugs, but I think that if I did indulge, I would be able to really enjoy this flick a second, or even a third time. But I do think that it would be a hopeless effort to attempt watching this film unmedicated. The only good thing about the film is Menuhin. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The movies had magic back then! *by W***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2014* The Magic Bow, a film about Nicolo Paganini the great violinist who was a rock star of his age, played by Stewart Granger a few years before he started making MGM films like King Solomon's Mines, is a marvelous example of British made films of that era of the late 1940s. I saw this film once as a boy so I've waited 65 years to see it again, it left a deep impression on me. Glorious sets and acting, it's too bad it wasn't filmed in color. The VHS came in perfect condition, it was first released about 15 years ago. Phyllis Calvert and Jean Kent are Granger's leading ladies, both sublimely beautiful.Jean Kent just died recently in her mid-90s, and she had a small role in Marilyn Monroe's The Prince and the Showgirl in 1957. The Magic Bow is a magical film. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/44472339-the-magic-bow](https://www.desertcart.at/products/44472339-the-magic-bow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
