The gaudy palette of Busby Berkeley's vertiginous Technicolor musical, from 1943, inspired the director's most extravagant visual inventions ... Go to Full Review Don Druker Chicago Reader 06/13/2013

A wild burst of colorful energy that is pure Berkeley, and one of his most wildly surreal set pieces. Go to Full Review Mike Archibald MUBI 01/09/2018
...we're all part of the show when it comes to this 1943 musical comedy, accepting and delighting in its escapist frivolity. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 08/07/2016
3/4
[UPDATED 2025 REVIEW] Whether one views this as a kitschy spectacle or 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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/26/2019 The best musical movie ever made! With the best movie song ever sung: The Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat! See more 07/25/2017 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. See more 11/19/2016 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. See more 07/19/2015 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." See more 01/27/2014 completely surreal. busby berkeley in technicolor! See more 11/29/2013 another winner from the musical master, busby berkeley this time for 20th/fox See more Read all reviews
