      camille l A partir d'une sombre histoire de mariage annulé pour cause de Seconde Guerre Mondiale, Living in a Big Way est une comédie musicale de très bon niveau pour Gene Kelly qui joue le cocu de service. Avec autant de charme que de talent, il survole le film de la tête et des épaules, film qui possède quelques jolies chansons et quelques morceaux de claquettes beaucoup plus intéressants qu'attendu. Dans le rôle de sa femme, Marie McDonald fait des merveilles. Living in a Big Way n'est pas inoubliable, mais c'est une comédie mordante, piquante et surtout assez osée pour son époque. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a comedy! It's a drama! It's a musical! Odd MGM hybrid gives Kelly a chance to perform three (uninspired) musical numbers. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member b & w song n dance pic Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member ouch it's a forgettable movie of Gene Kelly, but i still love his dancing & singing scenes thou Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was much better than the reviews had stated. Kelly gave an excellent and understated performance. Marie McDonald was the weak link in this film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny and entertaining. An interesting post war story that reflects todays society. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
