The Band Wagon
A fading Hollywood song-and-dance man returns to Broadway, where a pretentious director inflates the light comedy he signed onto into a modern-dress Faust. Built around Schwartz and Dietz's back catalogue, 'That's Entertainment!' included, it is the self-aware summit of the Freed unit's backstage musical, arguing wit and craft against Art with a capital A.
