{"product_id":"till-the-clouds-roll-by","title":"Till the Clouds Roll By","description":"The true story of Broadway's legendary composer, Jerome Kern is brought to life by a dazzling array of stars performing his best songs in lavish production numbers!\u003cp\u003eThe ground-breaking Broadway smash hit of 1927, \u003ci\u003eShowboat\u003c\/i\u003e, was much more than a triumphant achievement in Jerome Kern's rising career. It marked the dawn of a new age in stage musicals. American audiences had outgrown the sentimental British-based musical revues that had prevailed since the turn of the century. The brilliant Showboat songbook that Kern created with Oscar Hammerstein II gave birth to a more mature, sophisticated form of musical theater. After conquering Broadway, Kern moved on to Hollywood in the mid-thirties, and for the next ten years continued to produce a seemingly endless parade of beautiful melodies. In 1945, at the age of 60, while assisting in the production of \u003ci\u003eTill The Clouds Roll By\u003c\/i\u003e, Kern died of a stroke, and the film tribute took on the form of an extended musical eulogy to a beloved artistic genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpening with a bouquet of songs from Kern's masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eShowboat\u003c\/i\u003e, and closing with a heavenly reprise of \"Ol' Man River\" sung by a young Frank Sinatra, \u003ci\u003eTill The Clouds Roll By\u003c\/i\u003e features a cavalcade of MGM stars performing over a dozen numbers from Kern's vast repertoire. Judy Garland, fresh from her honeymoon with Vincent Minnelli, appears as Broadway star, Marilyn Miller, and shines in two song \u0026amp; dance sequences directed by her adoring new husband. Van Johnson dances, Lena Horne sings, and Angela Lansbury vamps - just a few of the highlights in this fascinating sampler of the best of Jerome Kern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45802882039958,"sku":"089218520395","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218520395.jpg?v=1762207859","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/till-the-clouds-roll-by","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
