Song of Farewell (French: La chanson de l'adieu) is a 1934 historical musical drama film directed by Albert Valentin and Géza von Bolváry and starring Jean Servais, Janine Crispin and Lucienne Le Marchand.[1] It is based on the life of the composer Frédéric Chopin and his relationship with George Sand.
It was produced by the German company Boston Films as the French-language version of the German film Farewell Waltz. Such multiple-language versions were common in the early years of sound before dubbing became widespread. The film's sets were designed by the art director Arthur Schwarz.
