 這部在歌舞片發展早期拍攝的影片，堪稱是當時最為奢華的好萊塢巨制。影片由后來被譽為“爵士之王”的保羅·懷特曼領銜主演，還請到了一眾歌舞名手。片中的內容取自百老匯的經典演出，通過名家和管弦樂隊的出色演繹，為觀眾感受爵士年代風情提供了一次珍貴的機會。影片在當年獲得了奧斯卡最佳藝術指導獎。2013年，它還被美國國會圖書館列入國家電影目錄。

　　Can I Get a Witness? tells the story of a mother and daughter in a near-future world where huge sacrifices are made to maintain life on Earth.　　With its resources swallowed by e-waste and overpopulation, the world is experiencing an anthropogenic collapse. To manage, technological advances are shunned. Nobody has electricity and only people with exceptions are permitted cars. Most importantly, there is also a collective agreement that nobody is allowed to live beyond the age of 50.　　Oh’s Ellie lives with her teenage daughter Kiah (Keira Jang), who is starting her first day as a Documenter, an important role in this new world order. She uses her artistic gifts — beautifully conjured in animations — to draw the dying ceremonies, since printing and photography have been banned.　　Kiah is paired with Daniel (Joel Oulette), the young man who performs the contractual elements of each person’s end-of-life ceremony. He matter-of-factly provides the packages a person can choose, sets them up when the time comes, and performs the burials. But his new coworker is having a hard time handling the emotional impacts of the job.
