Slick young Dubliner Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins) puts together a soul band made up of Dublin's out-of-work misfits. Starting from scratch, the group members rediscover a sense of pride as they master the discipline necessary to make music. An ageing trumpet player, who claims to have worked with all the greats, takes charge of their musical education but internal feuds and the realities of modern life threaten to overwhelm and destroy the band.\n\n\nFrom Amazon.co.uk\n\n\nAn irresistible, comic drama from director Alan Parker (\nEvita,\nMississippi Burning), overflowing and alive with passion, humor and music,\nThe Commitments showcases some old R\u0026amp;B standards in a new light. A headstrong, fast-talking, ambitious young Dubliner (Robert Arkins) fancies himself a promoter of talent, and sets about assembling and packaging a local Irish R\u0026amp;B band. His group of self-absorbed, backbiting, but stunningly talented individuals begin to succeed beyond his wildest dreams, until petty jealousies and recrimination threaten to scuttle the whole deal. A moody, vivid and soulful exploration of the Dublin club scene as well as a showcase for some wonderful unknown actors, the film (and its wonderful soundtrack) also features the actual band covering classic soul tunes from the likes of Otis Redding and Sam and Dave. It's that combination of soul and soul music that makes\nThe Commitments a special little film. --\nRobert Lane, Amazon.com --This text refers to the VHS edition of this video","brand":"20th Century Fox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42570176331994,"sku":"S33303882","price":5.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7339\/7443\/products\/51M0JJJ49SL._AC_US1500.jpg?v=1648684642","url":"https:\/\/atticdiscoveryshop.co.uk\/products\/the-commitments-1991-dvd-region-2-new-sealed","provider":"Attic Discovery Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
