Bullets over Broadway

Set in the vibrant 1920s, this film follows the story of a struggling playwright, David Shayne, who finally gets his big break when a wealthy gangster agrees to finance his play. However, the catch is that the gangster insists his untalented girlfriend be cast in a leading role, leading to a series of comedic and dramatic events. The film features standout performances from stars like John Cusack and Dianne Wiest, the latter of whom won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role. Directed by Woody Allen, the movie is a delightful blend of humor and drama, exploring themes of artistic integrity and compromise. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
