Blue Moon

On the night of March 31, 1943, as Broadway celebrates the triumphant opening of Oklahoma!, legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart finds himself alone at Sardi’s bar—adrift, intoxicated, and unraveling. Here Add Movies Name unfolds over a single, emotionally charged evening as Hart confronts the collapse of his self-worth, haunted by the success of his former collaborator Richard Rodgers and the sense that his own moment has passed.

As the night stretches on, conversations blur with memories, regrets surface alongside sharp wit, and Hart’s struggles with alcoholism and mental health come painfully into focus. Trapped between public bravado and private despair, he fights to preserve dignity while reckoning with rejection, identity, and creative obsolescence. Intimate and deeply human, the film is a poignant portrait of an artist facing the cost of brilliance and the loneliness behind the spotlight.
