Musical :: A dizzy distillation of the perpetually party-going Twenties in New York. The fascination of low life for high society makes for madcap hilarity in this romance between an heiress and a gangster, which also had a part for that great disturber of the peace, Jimmy Durante. Explosive comedy from Fields (of ‘Annie Get Your Gun’), sexy wit from Porter, in "The Great Indoors" and the notorious "Love for Sale," banned from radio for many years. Other great songs include "Let's Fly Away", "Where Have You Been?" and "I Happen to Like New York."
