★★★★★ · Doll of a Movie · malary · 2009-04-01
I must say, about 15 minutes into this movie I almost shut it off; I'm so glad I didn't! This is a wonderful film with outstanding musical numbers. I'll give an extra 'star' for the rating because the songs were so well-writen and performed. Kudos to the cast and crew
★★★★★ · A wonderful movie. · fisherman777 · 2009-08-08
The songs were so well performed. The young Perry Como is soft and soothing when he sings. I give this movie five stars.
★★★ · A Doll of a Doll (Face) · DonavanBlue · 2005-11-16
Lively backstage life in the world of burlesque. A young Perry Como sings, but doesn't look quite the same as he did in his later years. Did he treat himself to a nose job? In any case, his singing is unmistakable, soft and soothing. Dennis O'Keefe is semi-convincing as a manager harbouring a crude version of the English language. He looks brighter than his lingo suggests. The movie is entertaining and quite watchable.
