This is a 2 hour and a half movie about the life of George Gershwin. It shows him starting off with composing songs then getting into more serious business like Rhapsody in Blue and Porgy and Bess. He died in his late 30's. I was surprised by how accomplished he was despite his young death. The only thing I don't like about this movie is that his brother Ira Gershwin who was a great songwriter is just a side note. Oscar Levant, the pianist, who was friends with the Gershwins, also stars in this. He was fun in this and An American in Paris.
