The Band Wagon | BFI 75

The Band Wagon

Tony Hunter, a famous singer/dancer movie star, is feeling washed up and old hat. The reporters are out for Ava Gardner, not him. But his old friends Lily and Les Martin have an idea for a Broadway show and he agrees to do it. But things begin to get out of hand, when bigshot director/producer/star Jeffrey Cordova joins the production, proclaims it's a modernistic Faust and insists on hiring a prima ballerina,
