For The Boys

Film Description

An ambitious musical saga in which unknown USO singer Dixie Leonard is teamed up with one of America's beloved song-and-dance men, Eddie Sparks, in England during World War II, beginning a 50-year partnership of music, laughter, and tears. Through three wars, a Golden Era television show, the McCarthy trials, and, in later years, an awards ceremony, 'For the Boys' chronicles the relationship of this perfect onstage, tumultuous offstage couple. George Segal adds further complexities to the couple's relationship as Dixie's showbiz uncle who is interrogated during the McCarthy era. Authentic period costumes and sets and wonderful musical numbers all enhance this gripping melodrama.
