      StephenPaul C The worst 01 hour: and 19 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The funniest musical ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member silly but entertaining Fox musical Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member good all star revue musical Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly but pleasant little Fox B trifle. A Carmen Miranda musical in B&W is an oddity but she is as full as sass as ever and her headgear is as always astounding. Perry Como sings well and is certainly attractive but he is missing that big screen charisma needed for major stardom, it's easy to see why he was a big hit on TV he possessed a very warm and friendly presence. And of course there is Harry James and his band providing the music. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
