Description

Alan speaks with Cantor Dan Singer, of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue about Bradley Cooper's powerful performance as Leonard Bernstein in "Maestro" which included intense preparation over several years. They discuss the Bernstein's legacy, and the controversy of how a picture of Cooper's prosthetic nose months before the film's release had been deemed by some to be antisemitic, but those critics fell silent upon the film's release. Dan speaks about some inside information and they discuss whether or not including the making of "West Side Story" could have made the film more popular.
