Down-and-dirty musical love story set in the world of the working class. Nick is an ironworker who builds and repairs bridges. He's married to Kitty, a dressmaker, a strong and gentle woman with whom he has three daughters. He is carrying on a torrid affair with a redheaded woman named Tula. Nick is basically a good, hardworking man driven forward by will and blinded by his urges.

What a waste of talent this movie was. James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winset, Christopher Walken and half of the cast of the Sopranos. And they try to turn it into a musical? It just felt weird, especially since the musical numbers lessened as the movie went on. There were some great scenes at the beginning of the movie (Sarandon and Gandolfini going at it in the kitchen was amzing) and the end but the middle of the film was brutal.
