SUMMARY:Musical Matinee: The Band Wagon
DESCRIPTION:WEST NEWTON CINEMA PRESENTS: MUSICAL MATINEES\n\nJoin West
 Newton Cinema for a musical matinee! Our monthly pick will vary from
 beloved classics to jazz\, from vaudeville to psychedelic rock\, brought to
 you by the imaginative skill of artists able to make scenes look the way
 great music feels. We'll feature films from the Golden Age of Hollywood
 musicals\, with surprises that transcend the era and define others. The
 cinematic brilliance of these films has never left us. In fact\, seeing
 them again\, or for the first time\, will reinvigorate your love for the
 movie musical and send you out of the theater tapping your feet.\n\nTHE
 BAND WAGON\nTony Hunter (Fred Astaire) is a has-been movie star\, long
 regarded as a relic of another time. His only chance at a comeback is in a
 new Broadway show written by his friends Lester (Oscar Levant) and Lily
 (Nanette Fabray)—but the director\, Jeffrey Cordova (Jack Buchanon)\,
 seems dead set on making the show as un-commercial as possible\, casting
 Tony opposite prima ballerina\, Gabrielle Gerard (Cyd Charisse). Watch the
 sparks fly with every strike of the heel and turn of the toe!\n\nFrom
 director Vincente Minnelli\, film musical maverick\, The Band Wagon is a
 delightful tribute to the supreme virtues of a so-called “light”
 entertainment. The film reaches a higher echelon any time Fred Astaire and
 Cyd Charisse dance together. Its final number—an unlikely tribute to film
 noir and detective fiction—is a career-best for both performers.\n\nTo
