The real problem with this film is Robert De Niro's characterWhy should anyone care about this horrible, pushy, cheating, loud, lunatic, crazy and over annoying man???? Especially when Liza's character is brilliant and the movie gets magical when Martin Scorsese concentrates on her emotions and her music numbers rather than Jimmy's lunatic behaviour, which made me terribly tired after 1 h and 20 min of movie. It's a true pity because costumes, sets, Liza and music are wonderful. Scorsese is excellent as usual, if he could only be more concise. I love his directing in almost every movie he has made but.certainly didn't help the movie's fortune having several long scenes where Jimmy shows what an absurd piece of * he can be towards his wife. It could have been a much better movie
