Judy was only 19-20 years old when she made this film but she was absolutely brilliant in it. Her performance is just wonderful and the songs are among the greatest of her career including AFTER YOU'VE GONE and BALLIN' THE JACK (great legs). Gene Kelly (his film debut) and George Murphy are also very good but it's Judy who's steals the show here. Opera singer Marta Eggerth is also on hand. I could live without her in the film although she fits the part very well (she was more fun in PRESENTING LILY MARS; another Judy film and other only other film Ms. Eggerth ever made).
If you've not seen this film please rent it and get ready for some fine acting, dancing and, most of all, great singing from the one and only Judy seen here in her MGM prime!
