Wasserstein played to win--but there was also a playful aspect to his sometimes gnomic quality of thought. His signature piece was a "Dare to Be Great" speech, which he would roll out to stiffen the spines of executives and colleagues for the inevitable triumph ahead...
...movie is worlds removed from another making-of concert doc, Madonna's calculatedly scandalous Truth or Dare, and closer to old let's-put-on-a-show musicals like the Busby Berkeley 42nd Street, the Judy Garland-Mickey Rooney Babes in Arms and the Broadway standard A Chorus Line.
