      James Wegg JWR The detailing of George Gershwin's life and sudden death at 38, like Mozart (35) and Schubert (31) made me wonder what they all could have produced if they'd made it to 50! Rated: 4/5 Jan 9, 2006 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central More travelogue than encyclopedia. Rated: 3/4 Jun 18, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Wonderful songs and interesting clips but Micheal Feinstein as host is dull and drags the documentary down whenever he is on screen. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a fantastic documentary on the American songbook, running along the same vein as the That's Entertainment movies. A couple things could have been improved: less singing from the host- we all know that these songs have been covered by hundreds of talented singers. There should be footage of someone else. Also, the amazing and sometimes rare footage, is never identitified by what or year. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
