Viewing Notes

I believe it was @BTSjunkie on twitter that mentioned seeing Allan Arkush’s Get Crazy (1983) at Zzzang!!! (Alamo Drafthouse weekly event). He said that it was probably the last screening of this print because it was going back into the MGM vault. No other prints are available. Kinda sad. That prompted me to check it out.

It’s a hoot! It’s about preparing for a big New Year Eve concert at a club that’s going to fall into the hands of a new owner. It’s actually a lot better than that sounds. Good flick!
