@Witt2k9 12/12/2019 Great singing! If you love operas. See more 06/17/2019 There is no plot, and the music is bottom-of-the-barrel bad. I've heard that there was some good music that came from the 1940s, but I've never personally heard it. It certainly is not in this mishmash of a film. Jane Powell is aggravating, but perhaps that is because you can't get into the movie because she sings one dud after another. MGM was abysmal at selecting songs that were enjoyable. When the did, the songs were selected by outside sources. See more 01/16/2016 Another Joe Pasternak-produced MGM Technicolor frolic, adeptly mixing pop and classical music; nothing weighty or distinguished about it, but fun if taken lightly. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 03/16/2014 Luxury Liner is a decent film. It is about a young girl stows away aboard a luxury liner which is full of musical stars. George Brent and Jane Powell give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Richard Whorf did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the music and romance. See more 07/17/2011 ALL STAR CAST RAISES THIS SO SO MATERIAL ABOVE THE 2 STAR TO A 3! See more Read all reviews
