| User ReviewGreg Wpairing #3 of who were 20th century top box office draws alice faye & tyrone power they work well together added plus seeing power play a bad guy like he did in jesse james must have been fun 4 him 2 play bad too. |
| User ReviewMloy XThis was alright but kind of slow and not half as lively as Funny Girl (which was also a movie based on the life of Fannie Brice). Tyrone Power was cute and charming, but Alice Faye looks odd, especially when she sings which is unfortunate because she has a beautiful voice, and I'm at a lost for words with Al Jolson. It must have been a different time to consider what he did "entertainment". Go figure. Overall, the movie was a little boring and in comparison to "Funny Girl", "Funny Girl" had better acting, choreography and more memorable music; which made it hands down, a lot more entertaining to watch. |
