FABULOUS MUSICALS are this autumn’s cinematic theme
Join us for a tremendous toe-tapping line-up of classic and modern musicals ranging from the 1930’s to the present! Watch for details of upcoming films.
Starting with The Band Wagon Friday, October 17th at 7.30pm*
The Band Wagon (1953) Director: Vincente Minnelli Staring: Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Oscar Levant, Nanette Fabray 112 minutes
One of MGM’s most subtle and sophisticated musical come- dies, The Band Wagon stars Fred Astaire as Tony, a movie star whose career is in a downturn. Looking for a boost, To- ny decides to try starring in a Broadway musical written for him by old friends (Oscar Levant and Nanette Fabray). Things begin to get out of hand, when bigshot "artistic" di- rector/producer/star Jeffrey Cordova (British musical star Jack Buchanan) joins the production and proclaims it a modernistic Faust. He insists on hiring a prima ballerina (Cyd Charisse), to star opposite Tony, and it's hate at first sight. The show seems doomed by pretentiousness and the mismatch of stars, but romance and the famous ‘let’s put on a show’ attitude saves the day. After all, this is a musical comedy!
