 | Rhapsody in Blue [Read More ...]
Review: Essential for the Music :As a Hollywood biopic this is only average. Too much of the film is devoted to Gershwin's supposed romantic involvement with two women, who are both entirely fictional. Far more important in reality was his friendship with Oscar Levant, who was not only t... |
