The Band Wagon.

Tony Hunter (Fred Astaire) once a famous star of musical comedies on stage and later on screen, is largely forgotten after three years without a movie. He is greeted enthusiastically by his good friends Lester and Lily Marton (Oscar Levant and Nanette Fabray) They tell him they have written a stage show, a light musical comedy, that will be a perfect comeback for Tony. The Martons rewrite the play as a dark, pretentious musical drama.
