The first trailer opens in real-time on the evening of March 31, 1943, as Lorenz Hart escapes the Broadway buzz surrounding his former collaborator’s Oklahoma!. Amid the iconic glow of Sardi’s bar, Hart battles despair while colleagues celebrate. Scenes shine a light on his internal collapse—shaved head, diminished stature, and emotional unraveling, as he drinks and rants to sympathetic bystanders. Intercut with archival-style reflections on his life and work (“Blue Moon,” “My Funny Valentine”) the visuals emphasize theatrical ruins, moments of regret, and sudden intimacy. The tone is both elegiac and lyrical, inviting empathy for a creative soul slipping away.
