    In the studio period, even if Warner went to make musicals, it was full of reality and social anxiety, and the musical style also had a rough vitality. But I still don't understand. The film is completely illogical. The heroine in the film is a top white lotus. All men love her. Women are jealous of her and help her. The best opportunities are wrapped in colorful wrapping paper. , handed it over to her, she doesn't have to fight, she doesn't need to work hard, what kind of virtue can she be, she came up with this role during the Great Depression? Warner is still very romantic and dreamy! Or did everyone really suffer during the Great Depression, and felt that no matter how hard they fought, it was still useless, and they were too lazy to take care of it? Only the retired actress can vaguely see the temperament of the Great Depression, and for the eccentric choreography, the white thigh tunnel and the final street scene group dance, add a star.

    This is the third opera-in-play musical I've seen with rehearsal performance as the main line.... a bit boring.... Like "Huaqing Chun Nuan" and "35 Years of Gold Rush Girl", this kind of play-in-play Essence only needs to watch the song and dance in the last 20 minutes. The previous plot is really boring, and the song and dance of this film is not as creative and impactful as those two, plus there are many unintentional but intentional lust hints. , the style of this film is not to mention elegant.
