      John F This is an underrated Busby Berkeley film from 1938, his last at Warner Brothers. More of a comedy and not his usual fare but of course set in a musical mileau. Beautiful cinematography with top notch acting. If one would actually watch the film and not judge it by his earlier musicals much enjoyment will be derived by it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
