I'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.

Fascinating early talkie musical, notable for some amazing screen appearances - Helen Morgan, Florenz Ziegfeld, Billie Burke, Eddie Cantor among others. Some fine musical numbers and skits. It's like watching a piece of history. Very entertaining.
