The first act of this musical revue celebrates the movies with a mixture of classic and original songs, including a number in which the “famous feet” of movie stars are the only parts of them seen in a dance routine. The second act presents a fictitious Marx Brothers movie loosely based on Anton Chekhov’s The Bear.
