Band Wagon

Great 1953 musical from Vincente Minnelli starring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Oscar Levant, and Nanette Fabray.

Has been performer (Astaire) gets involved in a musical that revives his spirits and career. Plot isn't important here...the draw is the music and dance numbers.

Innovative scenes make this a delight, especially the "Girl Hunt Ballet" which spoofs film noir.

Frothy, fun, and memorable.
