Pennies From Heaven | Screening at the NFSA

  • Row Image

A struggling music salesman (Steve Martin) escapes his bleak life during The Depression by imagining glamorous musicals.

Based on the Dennis Potter BBC TV series, this film explores the intersection of illusion and reality through classic Hollywood musical numbers.

‘Pennies From Heaven is a rejuvenating, landmark achievement in the evolution of Hollywood musicals, and certainly the finest American movie of 1981.’ – Washington Post
