musical biopic
5 November 2023
It's a biopic of battling musical brothers Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. They play themselves as adults. Their father raised them to be musicians to escape their coal mining hometown. They are best friends with next door neighbor Jane Howard who would sing in their band. They use a bit of Jane to hook pianist Bob Burton.

I've heard of Tommy Dorseys although I don't remember the context. It's a very simple standard biopic. I'm sure most of it has been cleaned up for public consumption. Quite frankly, I would not be surprised if this has been entirely fictionalized. It doesn't really matter. I'm not looking for some shocking truth to be revealed. This is fine.
