      Steve D Not good. Not good at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Eleanor Powell's dancing is classic! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie song ever sung: The Last Time I Saw Paris! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 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." Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member go go musical not my bag though Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming, fluffy musical with good music and sprightly performances. That Eleanor Powell sure could dance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
