    Man, all the dancing and singing are awesome.. I love Fanny Brice and Gene Kelly's part.. This is one hell of a musical with glamorous set and beautiful outfit. a kind of movie that you will want to watch over and over again.

    A wonderful showcase of the greatest vaudville talents. Worth it, if you're into musical numbers and the like. If not, it may seem to drag on. But the comedy sketches were fantastice. Something for everyone in this picture.

    I JUST LOVED IT!!!I never imagined that all those stars could be together in one movie, but they shouldn't have taken numbers out.

    Ziegfeld returns from the dead, not to eat the flesh of the living, but to stage new shows. This film is precisely the sum of its parts.

    something for everyone in this movie--song, dance, opera, comedy, dramatic pantomime...unfortunately everything doesn't always appeal to everyone, myself included. certain numbers were awesome--Red Skelton, Fanny Brice, Gene & Fred, the Verdi song/dance...but others were just pr...( read more)etty boring. maybe in the context of an actual plot they would have been good, but as stand-alones they just didn't cut it for me. overall an entertaining, well-made film, i just didn't love every minute of it.
