Editorial Reviews

Martin Scorsese's 1977 revisionist musical, New York, New York, reviled upon release, looks more and more like one of the great, unheralded films of the '70s with the passage of time. The film begins just after the end of the Second World War (opening with a sprawling V-J Day sequence) and tells the story of the romance between saxophonist Jimmy Doyle (Robert De Niro) and singer Francine Evans (Liza Minnelli). Although the gritty Scorsese might not be an obvious orchestrator for a swinging, show-tune driven tale, he deftly crafts New York, New York into an homage to the great backstage musicals (all the numbers are "performances" -- think Footlight Parade rather than Oklahoma!). With ravishing visuals, courtesy of cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs (The King of Marvin Gardens), the film is a celebration of movies and the beautiful joys of cinematic artifice. But Scorsese doesn't adhere to all the musical rules: He makes his characters complex and genuine, as opposed to the smiling, saccharine inhabitants of many classics in the genre. Doyle is an arrogant lout, but as played by De Niro he's so dynamic you can't take your eyes off him. The specter of Judy Garland hovers over Minnelli's Francine Evans, giving a haunting touch to her performance. The memorable score -- "Start spreadin' the news…" -- is by Kander and Ebb.
