About
THE BAND WAGON (1953)
restored Technicolor sound era classic with soundtrack, 112 minutes.
Tickets: $25/$20
General seating - not reserved or numbered
(T 0419 267 318)
The film radiates pure class and enchantment and delivers for audiences and critics alike, then and now.
It tells the story of an ageing musical star who hopes a Broadway show will restart his career. However, the play's director wants to make it a pretentious retelling of the Faust legend and brings in a prima ballerina. Along with Singin' in the Rain (1952), it is regarded as one of the finest of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals.
High quality music, dances, direction, lavish sets and costumes and a witty script ensured the delivery of another timeless classic from multi-Oscar winning producer, Arthur Freed.
