Musicals on the picket line — from The Pajama Game to Made In Dagenham, from Bertolt Brecht to Willy Russell, from George Gershwin to James Taylor…
Jason Carr, Gary Yershon and Elena Ferrari return to The Crazy Coqs, Tuesday March 29th at 7pm
Ciné Lumiere, 9th December 2021, 7pm
Now digitally restored 60 years after it swept the Oscars, Minnelli’s Gershwin-based musical remains one of the creative pinnacles of the form. Gene Kelly is at his dazzling best as Jerry Mulligan, a former GI whose dreams of becoming a successful artist have led him to the city of light, love and the Impressionists. Much admired by wealthy patron Miro, he risks her displeasure when he falls for shopgirl Lise, herself betrothed to Henri. This romantic roundelay is, in the end, simply the framework for some of the finest musical sequences ever filmed.
