Robert Sullivan Los Angeles Free Press It's hard to guess what M.G.M. had in mind when they backed this film, because the potential audience hardly seems large enough to cover expenses. Jan 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member not as bad as the critics said in the 1970's quite exquisite sets, and costumes, and some great dance numbers. This films needs to be released on DVD. It is from MGM, it has Turned up on TNT but many many decades ago like the 90's. I have never seen this on TCM. I have an old VHS that I taped in the 90's of this film, that is how I saw it. Warner Archive should put this out. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review s r Beautiful locations, poorly written. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
