Why Go: It’s a fabulous blend of post-war jazz that orchestrates a storyline that jumps from classic film noir to Hollywood glamour in the late 40s. Actors bounce back and forth between characters in the shadowy black and white world of hardboiled detective film and the larger than life in living color world of Hollywood peppered with film royalty. Nobody escapes unscathed in the witty and irreverent glimpse at some of our favorite film and industry icons.
