Ethan Hawke Is Sensational in Richard Linklater's Blue Moon

Ethan Hawke Shines in Richard Linklater's Blue Moon

Ethan Hawke brings to life the spirit of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart in the film 'Blue Moon'.

Who can resist the charm of Oklahoma!, the 1943 Rodgers and Hammerstein classic that marked the beginning of the golden age of musical theater? The show's catchy numbers, such as those about courting in a carriage or measuring cornstalks, are sure to delight. However, Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers' first writing partner, might have been an exception. Hart, who passed away in 1943 at the age of 48, was the mastermind behind timeless standards like

"My Funny Valentine," "I Didn’t Know What Time It Was,"
and
"Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered."
These songs are a testament to his skill in crafting lyrics that capture the full spectrum of human emotions, from elation to heartbreak, often infused with self-deprecating humor.

Author's summary: Ethan Hawke stars as Lorenz Hart.
