Having liked but not loved the original, although the cast was peerless, I found this revamp to be a decent view. Even though they should have left out the men and a few songs they still gathered together a terrific collection of actresses. All stand out in their own way with Ann Sheridan, a chic, knowing observer. Joan Collins is incredibly beautiful even if she plays a grasping tramp. Agnes Moorehead, Delores Gray, that's her singing the title tune, and Ann Miller all have flashy overdressed parts and they make the most of them. The real dynamic to watch out for is between June Allyson and Joan Blondell, they had both been married to Dick Powell-Joan first and then supposedly June snatched him away, who here play boon companions but in actuality spoke only on screen and avoided each other like the plague off. It's a testament to their skill and professionalism that they seem the best of chums. Missing the Cukor touch there is still much to entertain here.
