That story, and the movie, speak to the nature of music as entertainment. Very cool.
Have you seen it?
I have; it popped up on Prime a while back and I caught it then. I wondered how much the syphilis and the associated treatments affected her cognitively, and if that was a contributor to what happened.

I watched it and enjoyed it, but my most significant recollections are pretty trivial, to wit: Hugh Grant was poorly cast; that Meryl Streep can really act.

The movie was good. And if I recall correctly, the recording of her performance at Carnegie Hall in 1944 remains to this day the best selling recording of any performance there.
