Here are clips from the movie "They Shall Have Music" where Heifetz plays a big role. Has anyone watched it?

According to the (wrong) information I've read I quote: "the "kids" in the orchestra include those who went on to successful and distinguished careers as: two professors of music at Juilliard; a concertmistress of the New York Metropolitan Opera orchestra and professor at SUNY Stonybrook; a first chair trumpet player for the New York Philharmonic; three symphony conductors; a renowed clarinetist who still teaches master classes at USC; a longtime professor who, in her mid 70's, performs with a prominent symphony; one of the most sought after harpists by the major motion picture studios; a violinist who recently retired from an active studio and concert career to an active second-career as a sought-after teacher (in her mid 70's), at least three other musicians who had careers as concert artists, several other distinguished members of symphonies and studio recording artists----and a young cellist who might have been a renowed concert artist, had she taken that route, but instead chose another rewarding career: as Sisters of the Immaculate Hearts of Mary---and who still managed to "moonlight" as a prominent member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. "
Does anyone recognise these "kids" from the first clip?
