"MAGNIFICENT! The genius of its music and of the artists who present it makes Carnegie Hall a quality film presentation that will be a treat for any picture-goer," - Variety. A heartfelt tribute to New York City's bastion of classical music, Carnegie Hall features rare appearances by some of the most prominent figures of 20th Century music performing at the legendary concert hall. Based on a story by silent movie actress Seena Owen, Queen Kelly, Carnegie Hall follows the life of an Irish immigrant (Marsha Hunt) who arrives in America just as the grand theatre is christened, and whose life is intertwined with the performers, conductors, aspiring artists, and employees who call it home. A lifelong aficionado of classical music, director Edgar G. Ulmer (Detour, The Block Cut) captured the musical sequences with great care and at considerable length, making Carnegie Hall not only an engrossing drama but a definitive visual record of the performance techniques of Artur Rubinstein, Jascha Heifetz, Leopold Stokowski, Lily Pons and many other unforgettable artists.

Special Features: Digitally mastered from the original nitrate negative, original theatrical trailer, rare behind-the-scenes production stills, music notes by the National Film Music Council, and the "Piano Scene" from Edgar Ulmer's Detour.
