Saw this film recently in a festival and thought, "Thank God for festivals, for where else would I ever see this film?!" But, the filmmaker did an interview with the audience afterwards and said that a distribution company has taken the film and it is going to open in theaters around the country this summer. What great news!

This is a movie every young person should see who likes movies, tv or theater. It is so inspiring and it truly captures the brilliance of great actors, singers, writers and composers. I always thought the world would continue to create great creative geniuses who came to places like New York and made history, but it doesn't seem to be any more. Much like the people in this film, "I thought it would go on forever."

But, this movie makes me feel optimistic again because any time you see something this powerful (and this is a powerful movie) I begin to believe again in the hope of great art, whether on stage or film or tv or maybe the next era is digital video. Who knows? But, run don't walk to see this movie if it opens anywhere near you!

It is wonderful to see a passionate film about this subject. And any film thas has Jacqueline Bisset and Mary Kay Place in it is alright with me. I don't know why we don't see more of these actors working today. It seems crazy not to put these experienced beautiful actors to work in more films. I am grateful that this film did. Many of my friends saw it and loved it and so did I!

Just about a perfect movie. I am so happy that this one came out on DVD so that the rest of the world can see how good it is. Bette Davis, Ann Baxter, Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter - what more could anyone on the planet want? That and a first class scrip and director. Hard to beat.
