Co-fondateur du groupe The Band (filmé en concert par Martin Scorsese dans The last Waltz en 1976) et collaborateur musical attitré du réalisateur depuis le début des années 1980, Robbie Robertson est, sans surprise, la colonne vertébrale musicale de The Irishman. Épopée de 3h30 produite par Netflix, cette adaptation brillante d’une biographie du syndicaliste et mafieux américain Frank Sheeran (interprété par Robert de Niro) est portée par une musique omniprésente, panorama idéal de la musique populaire des années 1940 aux années 1960.

Martin Scorsese has compiled yet another outstanding soundtrack for his new mob drama The Irishman.

Barney Hopkins is producing a new show on Broadway, but the day before it opens, the set and costumes are confiscated due to not paid bills. Everybody is sitting on the street and due to depression there is no possibility for the three chorus girls Carol, Trixie and Polly. But they hear rumors, that Hopkins is producing a new show, they invite him and he promises to give them work - when he found a backer to produce it. He hears the tunes of the composer next door, Brad Roberts, Pollys friend. Brad joins them and is backing the show. On opening night he takes over for the juvenile lead, who suffers from lumbago. Roberts has been very publicity-shy, because he belongs to a wealthy upperclass family from Boston. When his family notices what he is doing, his brother Lawrence and their attorney Peabody come to New York, to end his relation with Polly. But he mistakes Carol for Polly, who does not correct his mistake. Lawrence decides to separate Polly from Brad by drawing her love on himself. But soon he realizes, that he is really in love with that chorus girl.
