The latest film from director Richard Linklater, Blue Moon is a biographical comedy drama that takes us to the night of March 31, 1943 and the opening night of the classic, soon-to-be-a-timeless-hit musical Oklahoma! by the songwriting duo Rodgers and Hammerstein.
The story centers on lyricist Lorenz Hart (who penned, among other classic songs, the famous ballad “Blue Moon”), one-time songwriting partner of Richard Rodgers. Now an alcoholic and suffering from depression, Hart has slipped out early from the musical’s debut and taken a stool at the bar where the musical’s afterparty is planned to take place. As he gets drunker, he bends the ear of a reluctant bartender to do some sour reminiscing and vent his envy and melancholy over Rodger’s newfound success.
