    The title of the film is Siegfried, the king of singing and dancing, but after watching it, he seems to know nothing except that he is frustrated in the stock market and is a master hunter. Some song and dance scenes may be good alone, but they seem to be out of touch with the plot, and the three-hour assembly line narrative makes people groggy. Although Reiner's acting is a little nervous and his eyes are a little deliberate, it is still the biggest highlight of the...

    The creamy spiral cake-style dance scene with the deep focus and long lens is really interesting, but the director seems to be a bit overused for the close-up of the...

    Brilliant, flamboyant, extravagant, extravagant singing and dancing, William Powell is quite elegant, the plot is weak, and the skills are still in the primitive stage. This is a common problem in the old Hollywood...

    3.5 stars, the stage design is really extraordinary, but in general it is a smooth running account, add half a star in the last ten minutes, the movement of the orchid slipping from Siegfried's hand reminds me of Kane. ....

    A stunning visual feast with performances by Louise Rainer and Myrna Loy. If the length of the film can be compressed by an hour, I will give 5 stars. ....

    The film is very long, but the storytelling and life story are really rough. It can be seen that in that era, it was not a simple thing to "narrate" a movie. Billings' hobby is real hahaha, Fannie Brice's real body is wow! It's quite delicate to evaluate Siegfried in this era. I'm going to find this biography and study...

The Great Ziegfeld quotes

  • Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.: Anna's show is all set. No, in this one - I want to star the girls.

    Jack Billings: Don't be ridiculous. Without personalities, you haven't got a chance.

    Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.: Oh, I'll have personalities, all right. Lots of personalities! But, they'll mostly be blondes and brunettes.

    Jack Billings: What are you going to call this opera?

    Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.: I'm going to call it: the Ziegfeld Follies.

  • Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.: I want to do a show with silk drapes, with lace, with *beautiful* girls. I'm going to dress them not for the bald heads in the front row, but for the women in the last row. I want to surround them with glamour, glitter. Glorify them!
