great piece of historical entertainment! Embodying the intersection of at least 3 critical eras of the show biz: Vaudeville, Baseball & Film (also sound movies & musicals).Check out the Harlem Madness number for dynamite production of the period (1920s, really). Nothing since has even approached the electricity captured in that performance, but lots have tried with endless derivatives (ending but not limited to Moulin Rouge with Kidman & MacGregor).Sure, the humor's creaky, the acting's stilted, the direction is confusing (although by two of the stalwarts of the golden age of film).But hey, Washington's inaugural (or Lincoln's Gettysburg) address would look pretty dated now, wouldn't they? I'd still give anything to see them wouldn't you?
