In #Maestro, Bradley Cooper stars as Leonard Bernstein, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century.

As the movie depicts in a frantic opening sequence, Bernstein’s big break occurred on Nov. 14, 1943, when, at 25, he conducted the New York Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall—replacing ailing conductor Bruno Walter. (In the movie, he swoops in at the last minute—without a rehearsal—but the magazine story says he had been practicing in case he was needed.) From there, he went on to become famous for popular works like West Side Story and the score for On the Waterfront.

TIME detailed Bernstein's eccentricities in a Feb. 4, 1957 cover story hailing him as the first U.S.-born conductor with an international reputation. Among the qualities that shine through in both the movie and the cover story are that Bernstein had boundless energy, was extremely extroverted, and was often stretched too thin, which took a toll on his personal relationships.
