Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Band Wagon is a 1953 Metro Goldwyn Mayer film based on the Broadway revue from 1931, which also starred Fred Astaire. Astaire plays Tony Hunter, a nearly washed-up hoofer who hopes to revitalize his career by doing a new Broadway musical. The going soon gets rough. The director, Jeffrey Cordova, has megalomaniacal ambitions to stage a show based on Goethe's Faust; the choreographer, Paul Byrd, is a ballet snob; and Gabrielle Gerard, Paul's girlfriend, barely condescends to dance with Tony. After everything goes to hell--so to speak--Tony and Jeffrey manage to salvage the show by turning it into a series of spectacular, and apparently unconnected, production numbers. "That's Entertainment" ensues, along with romance between Tony and Gaby. |
