     Lengthy film about the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as told 
     through one of his rivals. Excellent performances and great music.

In his last days, Salieri, Mozart's enemy forever, tries to make suicide. He is rescued, and tells his fantastic story to a young priest. He tells him what a great composer he was until the genius, Mozart, appeared and finally how he killed him.
