Rating:  - ANYTHING WITH ELEANOR POWELL NEEDS TO BE ON DVD!
Why are we not allowed to see the great ELEANOR pOWELL ON A RE-MASTERED dvd OF THIS OR ANY MOVIE SHES IN.?????
Rating: - Eleanor Powell's dancing is outstanding!
Just burned this movie to DVD off the TCM channel - had not seen the film in a number of years. Out of curiosity I was reading the Amazon reviews, and must protest against the one written by Maliejandra - please ignore this post - Powell was a sensational dancer (and one of the best female 'hoofers' in the movies of the time, if not all time?) - don't miss her movies (not that many were made); of course, in the Depression era of the '30s, the reasons for making movies were quite different from now, ...

Hurry Up Warners!

Rating: - Amazing. . .
This movie is just great fun. True, it is typical Depression-era escapism, but it has a certain pre-WWII innocence, and a certain Gilbert-and-Sullivan flavor to it.
It's interesting to hear Jimmy Steward singing. Most of the time he's not bad, but he couldn't quite pull off "Easy to love." That's actually not surprising; that's not an easy song. And if you don't believe me, you try singing it sometime. What's amazing is that Eleanor Powell did so well with it--in addition to being an amazing dancer, ... Read More
