Audience Member The best musical movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting biopic which perpetuates the gals who preceded the Kardashians by a century - though the Dolly's actually had talent. This white-washed version (could be remade today with an R-rating) is an OK introduction of the gals and the times they lived in. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review ashley h The Dolly Sisters is an excellent film. It is about two sisters from Hungary become famous entertainers in the early 1900s. Betty Grable and June Haver give amazing performances. The screenplay is well written. Irving Cummings did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and music. The Dolly Sister is a must see. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r Had to see it for the Hungarian side to the story. If you love sappy romantic musicals, this is for you. It could've been much better had it not been so long. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Colorful but empty 'biography' of the famed vaudeville team introduced the Oscar-nominated song "I Can't Begin to Tell You."
