Our first film was a ground breaking musical based on a smash Broadway show, and the other a movie from a very different planet – so what do they have in common? Both films are the best of their genre – the film musical and comic book superhero and both films brim with star power.
In 1961 our first film stunned audiences with brilliant songs and stunning choreography in a dazzling display of magic – by a team of masters from film and theatre at the top of their game; Bernstein, Sondheim, Laurents, Hal Prince and Jerome Robbins.
Our other film takes us to Metropolis where an unknown theatre actor with insane comic timing and drop dead good looks – was picked to have the lead over Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman – you might want to keep your seat belt buckled for this one as we take flight.
