Biopic with all the workaday faults plus Alda, as George Gershwin, at one point looking hilariously in the same way as a Frankenstein eyesore as he sits at the piano while protruding arms apparently not his own tinkle the ivories. Still, it’s something of a musical observance, with a slew of old favourites and an outstanding all-ebony number on ‘Blue Monday Blues’. When the music fails, there’s always Sol Polito’s lushly stirring camerawork.
