Nothing Lasts Forever (1984) (1994x22)

:

Nothing Lasts Forever was directed by Tom Schiller in 1934. Schiller was assistant prop-man on King Kong. It is he, covered in boot polish, who stands on top of the giant gates on Skull Island shouting “Kong! Konga! Kong!” as the giant ape comes looking for Fay Wray. The same year - 1933 - he directed the first of a series of docu-dramas about the lives of great pianists. Nothing Lasts Forever - the story of the concert pianist, Adam Beckett - is the second in his long series of piano-oriented films.
