Fame

Description

Product Description At the New York City High School for the Performing Arts, students get specialized training that often leads to success as actors, singers, etc. This movie follows four students from the time when they audition to get into the school, through graduation. Set Contains: Fame scores all over again on DVD with its widescreen format and a thumping soundtrack: the moment when the kids burst out onto the street and stop the traffic is a bit of 1980s cinema magic. Alan Parker leads the class-reunion commentary track, helped by many of the cast (including Lee Curreri, Gene Anthony Ray, and Laura Dean). The film is clearly still important to them all. Other extras include a visit to today's school (hardly changed in philosophy or the passion of its real-life students) and a vintage featurette. --Piers Ford
