This unappreciated gem from Scorsese's early period if a fascinating blend of Cassevetes like improvisational realism and MGM style musicals.

Dio, che spettacolo, per trovarlo e vederlo c'ho messo un sacco di tempo ma ne è valsa la pena.

76/100
really good movie, very enjoyable, great music (of course, its liza minelli ! ), good humor, unfortunately the confusing ending ruined it, not scorsese's best work, but surely not his worst..
Too long, help by great performances, good soundtrack, Scorsese brings up another great movie. His hommage scene to old musical is somptuous.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "New York, New York" !
