CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on April 20th, reviewing “Chevalier,” which features Kelvin Harrison Jr. as the title character, set in revolutionary France. In theaters on April 21st.

The story is based on real life biracial fop named Joseph Bologne (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), the Chevalier of St. Georges … which is equivalent to an English knight. This man did it all, he was a champion fencer, as well as a violinist and composer, and his main goal was to be the conductor for the Paris opera, under the auspice of Marie Antoinette (Lucy Boynton). But he’s still a black man in a white society, which is he is reminded of daily, especially as he starts a love affair with the opera singer Marie-Josephine (Samara Weaving).
