How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping, glittering celebration of showmanship and spectacle that traces one man's relentless drive to create ever-grander theatrical wonders, even as personal and financial ruin dog his heels. It's a film that luxuriates in the sheer scale and ambition of its subject, delivered with the same lavishness as a Ziegfeld production itself.
