The script is weak and only the dancing is memorable.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Dan Dailey earned an Oscar nomination in this remake of the stage play "Burlesque;" unfortunately, the film itself is nothing more than a tired rehash of all the Fox backstage musicals that had come before it.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
