Monday TV: Remembering Glenn Gould, Blake Edwards

The fascinating biographical film "The Inner Life of Glenn Gould" premiering this week on "American Masters" (WGBY, Channel 57, 9 p.m.; CPTV, 10 p.m.), shows how the innovative and exciting classical pianist Glenn Gould to be just as famous for being eccentric as for his marvelous technique. But the strength of the film is that his former teachers take time to show how his approach to his instrument and to classic works of the past differed so much from all others.

It helps that there were a lot of creative films made about Gould over the years to help illustrate his unusual story - and plenty of great music, of course.
