Everything, from Dan Perri’s stylish titles to the searing sax solos played by Georgie Auld, has a dash, a classy drive, which gives the film an enthralling jazz tone.

Chronicling the relationship of singer Francine Evans (Liza Minnelli at her best) and saxophone player Jimmy Doyle (Robert De Niro), Martin Scorsese’s astonishing musical melodrama conjures the golden age of Hollywood via stunning sets, costumes, choreographies, and Big Band numbers. Francine initially rejects Jimmy’s overbearing advances, but when she starts to sing and he plays along, they soon become a duet. Ambition, artistic differences, and Jimmy’s jealousy test the union, as success calls for sacrifice.
