Can't Stop the Music

"The movie musical event of the 80's!"

Jun 20 1980 PG 2h 4m
Biography, Comedy, Musical

A loose biography of seminal disco hit-makers The Village People and their composer Jacques Morali.

Plot

In this pseudo audio biography of the Village People, Jack Morell (a thinly disguised caricature of the group's founder, Jacques Morali) is a struggling composer desperate to gain fame with his songs, but all he needs is a group to sing them. With the help of his roommate Samantha and a lawyer named Ron, Jack forms a group of six "macho men" from his Greenwich Village neighborhood, and the rest of the film details their rise to fame from New York City to a climatic concert in San Francisco.
