Review of Fame (1978) by Eytan D — 11 Feb 2014
"Fame" is not just a movie musical. It has dynamite song and dance numbers, but it's one of the first musicals to portray New York life for high school teens striving for success in such a bittersweet, honest, and real manner.
The tone is helped greatly by terrific performances from all the teens. I can't find a single thing wrong with "Fame". It's entertaining, vibrant, and it has one of the best scores of all time.
The title song, "Hot Lunch Jam", "Out Here on My Own" and "I Sing the Body Electric" are standouts.
