Salieri prays, “Lord, make me a great composer,” thinking himself so much more deserving than the immature, foolish genius. When that doesn’t work, the tormented Salieri denounces God by burning a crucifix and plots to kill Mozart. Unfortunately, Mozart has few redeeming qualities other than his exceptional musical talent. A womanizer and a drunk, he spouts out vulgar language and squanders money. His desperate wife humiliates herself by baring her breasts and offering sexual favors in return for a position for her husband. Originally rated PG, the agonizing death of Mozart, his pauper’s burial, and the film’s adult subject matter, are inappropriate for children. The re-release earns an R rating from the MPAA, based on sexually suggestive content, nudity and a few obscenities.
