New York, New York
The war was over and the world was falling in love again.
Directed by Martin Scorsese
Produced by United Artists, Winkler Films
A passionate, musically-driven portrait of two ambitious artists whose romantic connection is corroded by ego, manipulation, and the grinding struggle of artistic ambition in post-war New York.
An egotistical saxophone player and a young singer meet on V-J Day and embark upon a strained and rocky romance, even as their careers begin a long uphill climb.
