      Vincent B Too many violins in the sound track. so typical of MGM. dumb story, a a great disservice to the composer whose songs are absolutely top drawer. Luckily we get to see them performed by and array of MGM players. Not all of them successful in their attempts. If you want to see interesting colors and costumes here's some good music go right ahead just go out to use the restroom during Robert Walker's moments. What a shame what a waste of his talent. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Steve D This kind of thing has been done to death and better. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfortunately 'Till the Clouds Roll By' is lacklustre in the story department relying too heavily on its lavish musical numbers to get by. This hodgepodge of directors provides a very mixed and uneven film where the use of multiple directs is evident. One star with Judy Garland as this films only saving grace. 'Look for the Silver Lining' is a classically beautiful number Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The best musical movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Allen G Use you chapter search function to skip the plot, which is strictly dulls-ville, and head to the musical numbers, which are top-notch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/13/16 Full Review Audience Member I watched about half of the film. Jerome Kern's greatest hits! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 3/5 Jun 23, 2004 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television OK Jerome Kern musical, with some well done Vincente Minnelli musical numbers added to the mix. Jul 18, 2009 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Star-packed MGM musical is more about Jerome Kern's music than Kern himself. Rated: 4/5 May 25, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com MGM's bland musical biopics about Kern distorts basic facts, and lacks energy and imagination; the only good sequences feature Judy Garland and are staged by then husband Vincente Minnelli. Rated: C May 12, 2007 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Flat biopic of Jerome Kern salvaged by some production numbers. Rated: 3/5 Jan 29, 2004 Full Review Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal Rated: 3/5 Dec 5, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
