Editorial Reviews

Fame is set at New York's High School of Performing Arts, where talented teens train for show-business careers. The film concentrates on five of the most gifted students: singer Irene Cara, actors Paul McCrane and Barry Miller, dancer Gene Anthony Ray, and musician Lee Currieri. More so than the subsequent TV series Fame, the film emphasizes the importance of keeping up one's academic achievements in this specialized school. The faculty includes no-nonsense English teacher Ann Meara, erudite musical instructor Albert Hague, and martinet dance teacher Debbie Allen. Of the film's cast, Ray, Currieri, Allen and Hague were carried over to the TV version of Fame, which premiered in 1981. The score for the film version of Fame was honored with an Academy Award.

March 07, 2009: I am a huge fan of dance/drama movies. This was my first... I saw it on the big screen when it first came out and fell in love with the genre and this one in particular.

Highly hummable tunes, great characters, bitter-sweet story lines.

This review was written about the DVD Wide Screen edition.

I Also Recommend: All That Jazz, Steppin', Graduation, Tha Carter III [Revised Track Listing], Step Up.
