Denny S Hit and miss. Interesting to see a late career appearance by Fanny Brice, in technicolor yet. Red Skelton's sketch "When Television Comes" certainly predicted his future in the new medium just a few years later.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/23 Full Review Red T This is entertaining but it really isn't a movie. It's skits like SNL with the central theme being there all musical dances and singing and some standup. The best ones are Fred Astaire's and the next to last one is the best with Gene Kelly & Fred Astaire. Some are funnier than others, the stand ups I found the least entertaining. This is filled in the dance scores with lavish sets and lots of pomp. Anyone who is a die hard musical fan will like this. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It's the WWII-era version of watching a Youtube compilation of the best performances from TikTok, and let me tell you, watching Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire dance together is [fire emoji]—though the rest of the mix are mixed results.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe the biggest dud Hollywood ever produced The kind of talent displayed here can be found in almost every neighborhood in America. Some of it is, in fact, sub par, as the dance numbers could be performed by anyone in a dance program at any local university better than what you have here. Most tragic is that the glory of the 1936 "Great Ziegfeld" in its scenes of unique musical numbers and the attendant birthday cake number make this new "Ziegfeld" a throwaway by comparison. Its almost indecent for this to carry the name of "Ziegfeld" after MGM's careful crafting of the fabled showman's Broadway smashes, which are nowhere apparent here. Everything suffers mightily in comparison. The people we consider stars were truly embarrassed by this movie or they are just performing whatever is in front of them for the money or to fulfill a contract. The general public is not going to consider this dud as anything but what it is: a glaring mistake that, unfortunately, brands all old movies as being this cheap and unwatchable. Try to get anyone under 70 to watch this. It's about as bad as you can get. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
