That's Show Business 1975

Overview

That's Show Business is a 1975 comedy film with a runtime of one hour and forty-five minutes. The story follows Clement Mastard, who serves as the head of a prominent journal focused on extravagant vaudeville. Faced with an unexpected contract and the threat of bankruptcy, Mastard is compelled to reconnect with his former headliner, Celia Bergson, to attempt a transition into avant-garde theater. During this process, he encounters Johann Sebastian Bloch, a misunderstood and troubled musician. Although this partnership initially leads to complications and loss, the influence of the musician eventually encourages Mastard, a man described as lacking scruples, to humanize his approach. This transformation leads the pair to collaborate on the production of a masterpiece, the Missa Solemnis. The film, which is recommended for viewers aged 16 and older, was released in France on October 24, 1975. It is distinct from a 1967 television production that shares a similar title. The project features a cast of seventeen actors who contributed to the production of the feature film.
