Sort of a lackluster, quasi-musical from Scorsese. De Niro is decently emotive, but the film gets pretty talky at times and drags for long periods. Definitely not one of Scorsese's more "visionary" films.

Overall, I can see how it flopped and isn't why of Scorsese's great movies. I have never been a huge fan of Liza Minnelli though. I don't know why. She has a good voice. She's Judy's daughter.
