Pianist Anthony Warrin has attracted many fans by playing a combination of classical, popular and folk music. Sincerely Yours marked the feature film debut of Diane Brewster (1951-1991), who acted primarily on television, including appearances as the wife of "Richard Kimble" on the popular ABC Television series The Fugitive (1963-1976). Although the HCN review reported that Sincerely Yours marked Liberace’s acting debut, he had previously appeared in two other films, the 1950 Universal production South Sea Sinner as a maestro and RKO’s 1951 production Footlight Varieties as himself.

As an explanation, a Dec 1955 HR article speculated that Liberace’s television fans were used to seeing him for free and a LAMirror article suggested that his fans, mostly middle-aged and older women, were not part of the younger, movie-going crowd. Although their appearance in the film has not been confirmed, HR news items add the following actors to the cast: Doyle Brooks, Emmett Cody, Louise Lane, Jodi Kelley, John Graas, Shorty Rogers, Jimmy Fiuffre, Bud Shank, Marty Paich, Gene Gammage, Bob Manners and Michael Vallon.ĭespite the film’s generally favorable reviews and the popularity of Liberace’s television show, which ran from 1952 through 1955, Sincerely Yours was unsuccessful at the box office.
NYT and HR reviews describe Sincerely Yours as a recreation of Liberace’s concert performances and a remake of the Warner Bros.’ 1932 film The Man Who Played God (see entry), which was itself a remake of the 1922 film The Man Who Played God (see entry), also based on the Jules Eckert Goodman play.
