One of the best musically-driven openings of a dramatic film ever. Far richer in spirit and wit, and so much more enjoyable than any sequence or scene in Hugo. Side benefit: Scorsese’s use of “All The Way to Memphis” made me realize that Mott the Hoople wasn’t as irksome as I’d thought. Agreed — “All The Young Dudes” has aged well.
