Amadeus (1984) takes centre stage for this episode of the Historical Movies Podcast: starring F. Murray Abraham as Antonia Salieri, Tom Hulce as ‘Wolfie’ Mozart and directed by Miloš Forman.

Amadeus portrays Mozart as an arrogant, infantile, foul mouthed brat?

But how historically accurate is that? And we also take a look at the supposed rivalry between these two 18th century composers.

Plus: Mozart’s love of toilet-humour, implausibly quick musical notation and why is this movie actually called Amadeus?

Joining Ros in this episode is Jack CT Adams, PhD is contemporary classical composition at Portsmouth University.
