It is called a neglected gem from director Martin Scorsese, I can see reasons why it was neglected, it isn't the greatest musical drama in history, but it is a good film. Basically it tells the story of the love-hate personal and professional relationship between saxophonist Jimmy Doyle (Golden Globe nominated Robert De Niro) and singer Francine Evans (Golden Globe nominated Liza Minnelli). It is a bit slow when they meet, but through the film they make a band, marry, even after some squabbles, and have a baby. De Niro has many good moments with the sax, but Minnelli almost steals the show with her singing (even when her voice sounds a bit wobbly). Like I said, not the greatest musical drama, but certainly one that you may like. It was nominated the BAFTAs for Best Costume Design and Best Sound Track, and it was nominated the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy. The Golden Globe nominated "Theme from New York, New York" was number 31 on 100 Years, 100 Songs. Very good!
