Jan Peerce

Экранизация одноименной повести американского писателя Филипа Рота, за которую (вместе с еще 5 рассказами, вошедшими в книгу) автор получил Национальную книжную премию в 1960 году, когда ему было всего 26 лет. Каждое из произведений посвящено различным жизненным проблемам второго и третьего поколения ассимилировавшихся американских евреев. Как и более известный (возможно, скандально) российскому читателю роман "Случай портного" / "Portnoy’s Complaint " (1969, рус. перев. 2001) книга посвящена рефлексиям еврейского юноши над невозможностью обрести счастье в силу слишком еврейского воспитания... В данном случае - избранницы. Она - типичная еврейско-американская принцесса, ее родители, сами добившиеся благосостояния тяжелым трудом, ни в чем ей не отказывают, поскольку она их никогда не разочаровывала.

Hymn of the Nations, originally titled Arturo Toscanini: Hymn of the Nations, is a 1944 film directed by Alexander Hammid, which features the "Inno delle nazioni," a patriotic work for tenor soloist, chorus, and orchestra, composed by Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi in the early 1860s. (For this musical work, Verdi utilized the national anthems of several European nations.) In December 1943, Arturo Toscanini filmed a performance of this music for inclusion in an Office of War Information documentary about the role of Italian-Americans in aiding the Allies during World War II. Toscanini added a bridge passage to include arrangements of "The Star-Spangled Banner" for the United States and "The Internationale" for the Soviet Union and the Italian partisans. Joining Toscanini in the filmed performance in NBC Studio 8-H, were tenor Jan Peerce, the Westminster Choir, and the NBC Symphony Orchestra. The film also included the overture to Verdi's opera La Forza del Destino.
