Till the Clouds Roll By

About This Movie

Till the Clouds Roll By has this breezy vibe that really captures the essence of Jerome Kern’s impact on Broadway. Directed by Richard Whorf, it’s more of a light-hearted bio-pic than a deep dive into Kern's life. The musical numbers are performed by contemporary stage artists, which gives it a refreshing twist. You get these lovely renditions of his well-known songs, and there's even a condensed version of 'Showboat' that stands out. The pacing is pretty smooth; it flows with a certain charm, but it doesn't linger too long on any one thing. It’s not just a collection of songs, but a celebration of a musical legacy, making it a unique piece in the musical genre.
