How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A breezy musical comedy where two college-aged musicians compete for romance and one-upmanship through jazz, dance, and good-natured sabotage. It's a lighthearted showcase of tap dancing and big band music where the spectacle matters more than the plot.
