The new Lorenz Hart biopic, *Blue Moon*, gets a lot right about the creation of musicals—something that many films from the 1940s often got wildly wrong.
Unlike those earlier portrayals, *Blue Moon* offers a more accurate and nuanced look at the challenges and triumphs involved in bringing a musical to life. By focusing on the creative process and the complexities of collaboration, the film paints a vivid picture of the era and the art form.
This fresh perspective not only honors Lorenz Hart’s legacy but also provides audiences with a deeper appreciation for the world of musical theater.
