COMMITMENTS, THE

Jimmy Rabbitte is a man with a vision - to bring soul music to Dublin. His friends Derek and Outspan ask him to manage their band and Jimmy agrees, but only on his terms. He places an ad in the local paper which simply reads: "Have you got soul' If so, the World's Hardest Working Band is looking for you". And so were born THE COMMITMENTS.Award-winning Alan Parker's visionary movie about the rise and fall of a Dublin soul band took the World by storm, was a No. 1 box office smash, attracted rave reviews and produced one of the hottest new musical talents in years.
