Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
The theatrical antics are a bit forced and the musical numbers aren't the best in the history of musical cinema, but this still stands as an 'important' film of its era, albeit a minor and relatively forgettable one.

A treat, on no account to be missed.

Thanks to the genius of George Sidney at the helm, there's never a dull moment nor a single instance of a song or dance simply shoehorned in with no bearing on the story. So brush up your Porter if you must have a background before seeing this, and go!

Cole Porter's Broadway musical (via Shakespeare) has been toned down for the screen, but the songs are as wonderful as ever.
