      Audience Member Love the old musicals. Funny without being bombarded by sex, cursing and sick. humor. Debbie Reynolds was great and it was fun to see a young Bob Fosse. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Slight MGM musical comedy features the studio's younger talent (Debbie Reynolds, Bobby Van, Bob Fosse, Barbara Ruick) and recycled old hit tunes ("All I Do Is Dream of You," "I'm Through with Love").
