I thought music was noise, I thought art was bullshit, and then I realized: all the world’s a stage, including movies! This Showdown pulls back the crimson curtain to celebrate the topsy-turvy double life of actors playing characters playing other characters; the fabulous artifice of the plays-within-plays and musicals-within-films and all that jazz. So give a girl a break and pay recognition to the braves, the traveling players performing a new old play. List your top ten films that depict stage productions as part of their narrative. Let’s take Manhattan and Montreal. It’s opening night and there’s love on the ground. You can drive my car to the theater, we’ll meet at the stage door.
