Still a fun musical, 1 March 1999
7/10
Author: harry-76 from Cleveland, Ohio USA

"The Barkleys of Broadway" holds up well as a fun musical, especially significant as Fred and Ginger's final re-teaming effort. It's just downright good fun to see them together again, singing and dancing as only they can. What a delightful screen pair they are!
