      Steve D Pale imitation of the original. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Audience Member skip this and see the original non musical 1935 version. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Lackluster musical, nothin g at all special. over colorful and not much of an attempt at accurate period detail. The cast tries, but even Thelma Ritter doesn't liven things up. There are a couple of good musical numbers. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
