Ziegfeldin tähtirevyy

I'm a huge fan of this kind of entertainment, but I have to say I was mightily disappointed. Standouts were Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Fanny Brice. But some of the scenes were tedious and unwatchable. With such a great line-up of stars, this should have been a much better movie. With a few exceptions, I didn't care for the choice of music. I can always watch and enjoy Astaire and Kelly, but even those two were, I thought, not showcasing their best material. I was surprised to see Fanny Brice looking in her prime. I thought she belonged to a much older generation. Was she still active in the forties? Apparently so. An appearance by Eddie Cantor, arguably one of Ziegfeld's top stars would have been a real treat.
