      Steve D There is good reason the stars aren't remembered. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review kevin w Florenz Ziegfeld, THE Broadway impresario, reluctantly nods to upstart Hollywood (at the time) a little in this, as there is some snippet of a story stringing the acts together, but for the most part this is a peek at the tradition of vaudeville and the work that the old-timers had to do to pull off entertaining the old audiences (pre-internet, maybe even pre-radio!). The emphasis, as Flo would have it and as is stated in the title, is the loving (some might say lecherous) gaze on the female form, and not much else. Women's Lib never heard of Flo Ziegfeld and vice versa. Largely seen as a trip back in time for interested viewers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun, old-time soundtrack with a tedious plot tacked on. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Great flick for Independence Day. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
