Steve D 04/04/2024 Pale imitation of the original. See more 06/01/2013 skip this and see the original non musical 1935 version. See more 07/16/2006 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. See more Read all reviews
