Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Violinist is a 1959 animated short film (8 minutes) directed by Ernest Pintoff.Harry is a diwmitted but affable young man who dreams of being a violinist. Unfortunately, he's terrible at it, playing only dissonant notes. He goes around the city trying to entertain people on the streets, but he's only mocked and embarrassed. Finally Harry goes to a violin teacher, who tells him that to be a great violinist he has to play with feeling, and to play with feeling, he must suffer. So Harry sets out to suffer, starving himself, letting his beard grow out. It works—sort of.Carl Reiner provided all the voices. | |

Be Yourself | |
| The Violinist / int_4ae72307 | comment |
Be Yourself: The moral of the story. Harry starves himself, he lets his beard grow, and he stops doing all the other things he enjoys, like eating meat on the subway or chasing birds. It works, as Harry becomes a gifted violinist—but now nobody wants to listen to him because he's so ugly. So Harry gives up, and goes back to shaving and eating and doing the things he likes to do, like playing violin badly. | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar The woman who strolls up to Harry in the street and says "Hi, good looking," is coded to be a prostitute. At the end of the credits Felix the dog is staring intently at a fire hydrant. | |
