Leave your thoughts about The Fabulous Dorseys.
| User ReviewAlan WThis is some movie What music The big band era |
| User ReviewJames H62/100. It's worth watching for the music alone, and the historical appearances of many of the popular swing stars of the time. The screenplay isn't great, and it does lean toward melodrama. As for the performances, a bit uneven there. Sara Allgood does a fine job as the Dorsey's mother. It's best to ignore the negatives and focus on the great score and the slice of history this film is. |
| User ReviewTimothy MMediocre biopic with fairly bland performances. |
| User ReviewStephen RI know next to nothing about the Dorseys, but I still enjoyed this movie. I did feel like it started to drag a little by about halfway through, but the characters were enough to keep me watching. Probably not one of my favorite classics, but it's worth sitting through. |
| User ReviewPaul DNice biography of musicians that allows the music to speak for itself in various interlude moments. |
