Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of music lovers and anyone who loves a strong drama. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. If you loved Fame or Yankee Doodle Dandy, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 7 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Julia and Hap are a dance team. He drinks and gambles, she succeeds for a while with the help of producer Alan.
