      Mature feelings I haven't seen in a long time

      -

      This kind of film makes me sigh at the artistic height achieved by Hollywood theaters 80 years ago, especially in terms of stage effects.


      Speaking of the film itself, this film is known as "the originator of all musical clichés", which shows that its historical significance is extraordinary. The film mixes many elements that attract people in the film and television industry, such as the overloaded work of the director, the entanglement between producers and...

      sad marsh

      I don't understand why marsh is so tragic at the end of the movie.
      I think he's pretty good, except that he started talking about money in a
      hurry, told all the actors before rehearsals "it's gonna to be really tough, it will be the toughest 5 weeks you ever lived through"
      and sat down with Andy later On the side of the road, there was a feeling about "i am a sick man, not a great director, i am human, not a machine",
      as well as the special training for peggy, kissing her to...

      The plot is silly, but the form and choreography are so cool. Busby Berkeley's reputation is well-deserved. In addition, Dick Powell is especially suitable for musicals, so fresh and tender that I am drooling, so I don't want to play a role like Marlowe. ....

This kind of plot seems to fall into the cliché, but this film makes this kind of old-fashioned plot gain by adding the love story of an old rich man, and the heroine did not cut off...
