A little weak in acting at first, but warms up nicely. Quite entertaining. And even more welcoming in 3D. Full Review |

The theatrical antics are a bit forced and the musical numbers aren't the best in the history of musical cinema, but this still stands as an 'important' film of its era, albeit a minor and relatively forgettable one. Full Review |

5/5 |
One of the all-time best movie musicals, with Fosse choreography and Porter's vunderbar music.

Thanks to the genius of George Sidney at the helm, there's never a dull moment nor a single instance of a song or dance simply shoehorned in with no bearing on the story. So brush up your Porter if you must have a background before seeing this, and go! Full Review |
