Abstract "Song of Love is a biopic about the lives and loves of 19th century musicians Clara Wieck Schumann (Katherine Hepburn), Robert Schumann (Paul Henreid) and Johannes Brahms (Robert Walker). Clara gives up her thriving career as a concert pianist to devote herself to her struggling composer husband Robert. Unable to cope with disappointment and failure, Robert dies in asylum, leaving poor Clara to cope with seven children and mounting debts. At this point, the eminently successful Brahms, who has loved Clara all along, proposes to her, but Clara insists on going it alone, perpetuating her husband's memory on the concert stage." --container.
