The Band Wagon (1953)
Country: US
Technical: col 112m
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Cast: Fred Astaire, Jack Buchanan, Oscar Levant
Synopsis:
A Broadway director with artistic pretensions takes on a new musical show and alters it beyond recognition, but somehow guides it to success with the help of his loyal collaborators.
Review:
Archetypal musical format given new vitality by Minnelli's infallibly stylish direction and the zest of its performers. The last half-hour is a breathless succession of inspired and varied numbers culminating in the famous Mickey Spillane-inspired ballet with Cyd Charisse.
