Film Details

One of the worst reviewed movies of the 1970s has been re-edited into a version closer to Peter Bogdanovich’s shooting script and his first pre-release cut. And it’s been favorably received; Richard Brody in The New Yorker recently called it “a blazingly original masterwork.” The late Burt Reynolds stars in the picture (along with Cybill Shepherd, Madeline Kahn, and Eileen Brennan) which is comprised of 18 musical numbers—all Cole Porter songs. The film is a snappy, sparkling, and visually stunning tribute to 1930s musicals in which four socialites (two couples) go out on the town, change partners, and dance. DCP. 123 min.
