2.5/4
The static mise-en-scene is kind of fascinating, and the tableau scene is surprisingly erotic, featuring an array of barely dressed men and women reenacting historical paintings. Go to Full Review

Bryce B @RT16407441 Feb 4, 2025 Wonderful and authentic. The street scenes are amazing. This is 1929 folks. This was one of the first ‘talkies’. The characters the signs. It’s like a Time Machine. The actors were terrific and did some groundbreaking breaking things for that time. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Dec 26, 2023 There is good reason the stars aren't remembered. See more Sep 19, 2014 A fun, old-time soundtrack with a tedious plot tacked on. See more Jul 4, 2011 Great flick for Independence Day. See more Jun 5, 2011 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. See more Feb 21, 2009 The history behind this film is more interesting than the actual film itself. Musical Fanatics that want a history lesson should check this out. Otherwise, it's pretty boring.
