| User Reviewjay nSome good music and musical numbers are buried in this sanguine concoction that suffers from a serious case of the cutes. Priscilla Lane's screen bow. |
| User ReviewMichael T2: A fairly indifferent and forgettable film. The plot is about and ridiculous as most musical comedies of the era, but this one doesn't really have anything to distinguish itself. I actually actively dislike some of the stars, and there are none that I actually admire. None of the musical numbers are even remotely memorable or catchy. The only reason to watch film is if you're a Busby Berkely fan. The ending sequence is somewhat worthwhile. The best Berkely sequences leave me in wonderment and breathless, with my mouth agape. This one simply kept me interested. |
