Words and Music

The BIGGEST musical!

This film celebrates Larry Hart (1895–1943) through the fictionalized perspective of his songwriting partner Richard Rodgers (1902–1979). It follows their first meeting, early struggles, and eventual breakthrough, leading to triumphs on Broadway, in London, and in Hollywood. Their collaboration comes alive in staged numbers from their shows, nightclub scenes, and impromptu party performances. The narrative also explores Hart's chaotic lifestyle, his unrequited love for Peggy McNeil, his personal unhappiness, and Rodgers' successful courtship of Dorothy Feiner.
