CRESCENDO · Film
Christmas, 1947. The race for the holiday charts is run by men in tuxedos who would burn down a radio station to win it. The mafia of song.
Slate indexNotes from the Studio
CROONERS lets old-world glamour behave like organized crime. The danger is velvet, but it is danger.
CRESCENDO's audience gives the film a built-in cultural calendar: Christmas music as rivalry, ritual, and annual reactivation.

Music supervision by Pearl Nash. Production design by Victor Sol.
