      Pare Lorentz Vanity Fair Dressier for a slapstick comedy, [Marion Davies] might find that her real gift for mimicry would be received far more enthusiastically than her propensity for "dressing up" in boys' pants and acting coy Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      joe m While a mildly enjoyable film with a few amusing moments, "Blondie of the Follies" has a few drawbacks with the biggest being a story that comes off as hollow and shallow. Then you have most of the acting which is rather wooden with Marion Davies in the title role being the stiffest of them all. And then there is no real spark between her and leading man Robert Montgomery. The whole production comes off as rather forced. The only redeeming feature is the frenemy relationship between Blondie and Lottie (Billie Dove). Pass on this one. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Glossy MGM drama with music starts out snappily, then dovetails into silly melodramatics.
