Richard Brody The New Yorker The gaudy palette of Busby Berkeley's vertiginous Technicolor musical, from 1943, inspired the director's most extravagant visual inventions ... Jun 22, 2015 Full Review Don Druker Chicago Reader Busby Berkeley's most audacious film. Jun 13, 2013 Full Review Keith Uhlich Time Out Time and again, you can't believe what you're witnessing... Rated: 5/5 Apr 17, 2012 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row A wild burst of colorful energy that is pure Berkeley, and one of his most wildly surreal set pieces. Rated: 3/4 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Mike Archibald MUBI ...we're all part of the show when it comes to this 1943 musical comedy, accepting and delighting in its escapist frivolity. Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing Whether one views this as a kitschy, campy spectacle or merely another splashy musical from the Dream Factory largely depends on one's tolerance for garish colors, kaleidoscopic set-pieces and the sight of Carmen Miranda and her juicy fruits. Rated: 3/4 Aug 7, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The best musical movie ever made! With the best movie song ever sung: The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Bonkers 1943 Fox musical, directed by Busby Berkeley on huge Technicolor soundstages. The plot is mistaken identity froth, the performances are occasionally stiff and overblown, but there's enough charm and silliness to compensate. The soulful and beautiful Alice Faye keeps everything grounded, and Edward Everett Horton and the relentless Carmen Miranda provide the front cloth comedy. It's not Fred and Ginger but it's still good fun. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Where did they get those actors from? Works at loud volume to drown out the awfulness. Hopefully I'll sit through the whole thing one of these days. It's a Masters of Cinema, so I'll have to give it my best shot. But, blimey, it severely lacks star presence. ....Yes, as always, the MoC selection are growers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Colorful WWII escapism directed by Busby Berkeley, perhaps his most surreal film musical;; Alice Faye sings "No Love, No Nothin," Carmen Miranda performs the ultimate camp production number, "The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat." Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member completely surreal. busby berkeley in technicolor! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member another winner from the musical master, busby berkeley this time for 20th/fox Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
