Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 01/04/2020
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 Read all reviews

Bryce B Feb 4 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 12/26/2023 There is good reason the stars aren't remembered. See more 09/19/2014 A fun, old-time soundtrack with a tedious plot tacked on. See more 07/04/2011 Great flick for Independence Day. See more 06/05/2011 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 02/21/2009 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.
