This is actually one if the little gems from MGM. The four stars are engaging, although I do have problems with Steven Boyd. Jimmy Durante and Martha Raye should have been a comedy team for the really do play of each other. A very enchanting musical at the end if that era.Richard Gallagher said:Anyone who is on the fence about this film will have a chance to see it on TCM this coming Tuesday afternoon at 1:45 p.m. EDT.

Got this today also (damn Columbus Day) and about to watch. Thanks for your insightskevin_y said:Got this today. The 1080p picture is sweeet. Colors are rich, great for such a colorful film. The lossless 5.1 audio sounds great but doesn't seem to have a lot of rear action. English subtitles for the hard of hearing are provided. Can anyone explain why only spoken dialogs are subtitled but not the song lyrics? I've seen this in several other DVDs/BDs of Warner musicals already, such as "An American in Paris". It's sad that the often cheesy dialogs in these films are subtitled but the divine Gershwin & Hart lyrics are not.
The Tom & Jerry cartoon is shown in 1080p and it's a nice-looking print. The musical short "Yours Sincerely" is also in 1080p but the print isn't nearly as nice.
Standard practice. While sometimes the studios will release them with subtitled lyrics, they are most often absent for whatever reason. No surprise here.kevin_y said:Can anyone explain why only spoken dialogs are subtitled but not the song lyrics?
They usually run three to four weeks behind the WAC release date.Mark-P said:I guess it was a mistake for me to pre-order it on Amazon. It's been indefinitely on back-order with no shipping estimate in sight!
