Shortly after the Second World War, Max, a transplanted American, visits an English pawn shop to sell his trumpet. The shopkeeper recognizes the tune Max plays as one on a wax master of an unreleased recording, discovered and restored from shards found in a piano salvaged from a cruise ship turned hospital ship, now slated for demolition. This chance discovery prompts a story from Max, which he relates both to the shopkeeper and later to the official responsible for the doomed vessel, for Max is a born storyteller. Though now down on his luck and disillusioned by his wartime experiences, the New Orleans-born Max was once an enthusiastic and gifted young jazz musician, whose longest gig was several years with the house band aboard the Virginian, a posh cruise ship. While gaining his sea legs, he was befriended by another young man, the pianist in the same band, whose long unlikely name was Danny Boodman T.D. Lemons 1900, though everyone just called him 1900, the year of his birth. Abandoned in first class by his immigrant parents, 1900 was found and adopted by Danny, a stoker, and raised in the engine rooms, learning to read by reading horseracing reports to his adoptive dad. After Danny's death in an accident, 1900 remained on the ship. Increasingly lured by the sound of the piano in the first-class ballroom, he eventually became a gifted pianist, a great jazz improvisationist, a composer of rich modern music inspired by his intense observation of the life around him, the stories passengers on all levels of the ship trusted him enough to tell. He also grew up to be a charming, iconoclastic young man, at once shrewd and oddly innocent. His talent earned him such accolades that he was challenged by, and bested Jelly Roll Morton in an intense piano duel that had poor Max chewing paper on the sofa in agonies of suspense. And yet for all the richness and variety of his musical expression, he never left the ship, except almost, once, in the aftermath of his infatuation with a beautiful young woman immigrant who inspired the music committed to the master Max discovers in the pawnshop. Max realizes that 1900 must still be on the ship, and determines to find him, and to find out once and for all why he has so consistently refused to leave.

The Legend of 1900 tells the story of a unique man who never set foot upon dry land. On January 1, 1900, a small baby boy was found abandoned on the Virginian, a transatlantic ship. The crewman who found him names the boy Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900; 1900 for short. 1900 is a true orphan. He knows nothing about his parents or his past. The Virginian is the only thing he knows.
The story unfolds as a series of flashbacks told by a man named Max (Pruitt Taylor Vance, Nobody's Fool, Mumford). In a series of events that seem awkward to the viewer, Max tells various people he meets about his experiences aboard the Virginian with 1900 (Tim Roth, No Way Home, Gridlock'd). The transitions are clunky, causing the story to frequently halt for further exposition before continuing. At a young age, 1900 became a piano prodigy. He entranced people with his ability to play the piano, and dumbfounded people with his refusal to leave the ship. 1900 helped Max ease his transition onto the ocean, and the two became friends, playing together in the band. Max details 1900's experiences with love (in a very Titanic-like meeting), and his encounter with Jelly Roll Morton (Clarence Williams III, The General's Daughter, Reindeer Games). Morton is irrationally jealous of 1900 and challenges him to a piano duel to determine the better player. Williams glowers through his role, which is interesting but one-dimensional.
Roth plays 1900 as an enigma. He shows emotion only when he is playing the piano. Vance's character is much more annoying. His only purpose is the narrator. Tornatore gives no reason as to why the two become friends, or remain friends for such a long time. 1900 is well liked by the crew, so why is Max the person 1900 confides in the most? The music of The Legend of 1900 was composed by another legend, Ennio Morricone. Morricone composed more than 400 scores over his career, garnering numerous nominations in the process. Morricone's music permeates the movie, rising and falling with the moods of the characters. The production on The Legend of 1900 is gorgeous. The special effects are great, but here it is a good thing. Long shots of the Virginian do not look quite real, instead it looks almost magical. This is Tornatore's first English film, and although it isn't outstanding, it is a nice effort.
