Plot: The day WWII ends, Jimmy, a selfish and smooth-talking musician, meets Francine, a lounge singer. From that moment on, their relationship grows into love as they struggle with their careers and aim for the top.

Quote:
New York, New York is a 1977 American musical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Mardik Martin and Earl Mac Rauch based on a story by Rauch. It is a musical tribute, featuring new songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb as well as jazz standards, to Scorsese’s home town of New York City, and stars Robert De Niro and Liza Minnelli as a pair of musicians and lovers. The story is “about a jazz saxophonist (De Niro) and a pop singer (Minnelli) who fall madly in love and marry”; however, the “saxophonist’s outrageously volatile personality places a continual strain on their relationship, and after they have a baby, their marriage crumbles”, even as their careers develop on separate paths. The film marked the final screen appearance of actor Jack Haley.

Born in 1942, grand-son of Sicilian immigrants, Martin Scorsese made his first trial in 1964 before beginning his first feature film, “Who’s that knocking my door?”, Which is largely autobiographical. In 1970, he collaborated on “Woodstock” and joined Hollywood where Roger Corman says he “Boxcar Bertha” saga time of the Depression. “Mean Street” reveals to the public in 1973; he takes in this film introspection Youth Little Italy, wedged between the Mafia, the American dream and fantasy of a Catholic education. Filmmaker immigrants and minorities, it is also one of the individuals that violence is vacillate between damnation and grace, like De Niro in “Taxi Driver,” “Raging Bull,” and more recently “Cape fear”. Able to run in appearance in the Hollywood mold, it uses forms to throw on the world of showbiz cruel gaze (“The King of Comedy,” “New York, New York”). Scorsese realizes in 1987 “The Last Temptation of Christ,” his most personal film to date. Refusing to be a filmmaker one day martyr, he admits intersect its analysis of Italian-American middle of minor works in which he may exercise his skills and keep hold.(google trad)
