Swingin' the Dream (2021)
A concert of a work in progress including original music and songs from the 1939 production telling the story of an intriguing Broadway musical adaptation of Shakespeare. This jazz-infused version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream opened in 1939 with a heady mixture of talent, including Louis Armstrong and Maxine Sullivan, and musical contributions from Count Basie and Benny Goodman.

From my favorite movies..
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
