Gloria, Barabara and Buddy are working at the sheet music counter in a New York department store. On a trip of the whole store, Gloria, who's in love with Buddy, is spotted by vaudeville hoofer Miller, whom his partner Mooney, like her predecessors, has just left. Miller tours with Gloria and both are spotted by Ziegfeld's talent scouts, just before they were splitting up, leaving Gloria with a contract giving Miller a part of her earnings in the next few years. Gloria becomes the star of a new Ziegfeld production, but Barbara, who has been pining for buddy for quite a while, seems to have more luck with him.

| User ReviewWilliam OI'm not sure it even deserves 3 stars, it was okay and I only give it 3 stars for one skit that was funny in the whole movie: There was quite a few major things I disliked about this movie. 3 at least. |
| User Reviewali mInteresting for those interested in film history to see an early talkie musical. The sound quality however is so poor that the dialogue is hard to understand. Cute shtick with two tailors and Ziegfeld follies number at the end. |
| User ReviewDarryl Cthis film is tough going--if you're afraid of stage mothers. the mother in this film is a piranha. and the relationship between her and her daughter is edgy and very unpleasent for the time. eaton, as the lead, was a poor man's marilyn miller. she sang well enough and danced okay but she didn't have the magic that miller had. but she had something. an edgy bette davis-like tinge to her work. the best thing, for better or worse, about this film is the follies finale. those women dressed as big ostriches get me EVERY time! |
| User ReviewAlyssa NThis 1920's musical is certainly interesting, but at times I felt like I was watching an extended advertisement for the Ziegfeld Follies. Still, if you like burlesque, vaudeville, or musicals, it wouldn't hurt to watch this out of sheer curiosity. I also appreciated seeing a film with a bittersweet ending that doesn't follow all the Hollywood cliches, despite the fact that it was made before those cliches even existed. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WFlorenz Ziegfeld, THE Broadway impresario, reluctantly nods to upstart Hollywood (at the time) a little in this, as there is some snippet of a story stringing the acts together, but for the most part this is a peek at the tradition of vaudeville and the work that the old-timers had to do to pull off entertaining the old audiences (pre-internet, maybe even pre-radio!). The emphasis, as Flo would have it and as is stated in the title, is the loving (some might say lecherous) gaze on the female form, and not much else. Women's Lib never heard of Flo Ziegfeld and vice versa. Largely seen as a trip back in time for interested viewers. |
