Famed Australian concert pianist Eileen Joyce stars as herself in the 1953 biopic Wherever She Goes. The film traces Eileen's life and work from childhood, when she first evinced the musical brilliance that would earn her international acclaim. Unfortunately, Eileen's poverty-stricken family is unable to finance a proper education for the girl. To pay for her lessons, the girl becomes a combination itinerant musician and high-stakes gambler. Eventually, Eileen is unofficially adopted by a group of miners, who begin a fund-raising campaign on her behalf. Suzanne Parrett plays the younger Eileen Joyce with unerring accuracy.
This is such a delightful film! Suzanne Parrett, as the young Eileen Joyce, is enchanting. This is a finely crafted film; the images, vernacular and social settings are iconic of Australia at that time, the middle 1920s. Each scene is beautifully composed and captures the landscape and characters perfectly. It is guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings as Eileen navigates through the minefield of adult skepticism in a tough economic environment. Hope is maintained by her meetings with a sympathetic swagman, an inspiring pianist in a piano shop and the rough but appreciative miners in Boulder. This wonderful film stands up there with A Bush Christmas, The Overlanders and Smiley as an Aussie classic.IMDB Reviewer
