How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A dazzling burst of energy and optimism disguised as backstage chaos, this pre-Code musical believes utterly in the transformative power of a show. It moves with infectious momentum, blending Busby Berkeley's geometric spectacle with genuinely funny character moments and a scrappy belief that talent and gumption can overcome even Depression-era ruin.
