Steve D 12/25/2023 Not good. Not good at all. See more 02/04/2020 Eleanor Powell's dancing is classic! See more 02/01/2019 The best movie song ever sung: The Last Time I Saw Paris! See more 05/16/2015 Snappy MGM musical uses the title song from the famous Gershwin Broadway musical and little else except "Fascinating Rhythm," which becomes a monstrous Busby Berkeley-directed production number for Eleanor Powell; Ann Sothern sings the Oscar-winning Kern-Hammerstein song "The Last Time I Saw Paris." See more 07/22/2014 go go musical not my bag though See more 11/21/2012 Charming, fluffy musical with good music and sprightly performances. That Eleanor Powell sure could dance.
