Synopsis
A sumptuous showcase for 28 fantastic Berlin tunes. Aristocratic Power flouts family convention and takes up ragtime. He starts a band with composer Ameche and singer Faye. Over the next 30 years, two fall in love, a different two get married, one goes away to war, the band breaks up then gets back together. One of the original and still one of the best "let's put on a show" films of all time. Love, loyalty, fame, jealousy; even duty, honor and country all play alongside the spectacular cast in this breathtakingly appointed showbiz epic.
