Our correspondent in Venice reports that Bradley Cooper was unablke to attend the Bernstein premiere due to the strike of Hollywood actors and writers.
His place on the red carpet was taken yesterday by the three Bernstein children, Jamie, Nina and Alexander.
The film received a seven-minute ovation, which is respectable rather than overwhelming. Classical music execs at the screening were deeply moved, as were the family members.
