I've watched and rewatched this movie maybe ten to fifteen times and most recently just prior to writing this review on Feb 2023.
I like Don Ameche. He'd have made a great Zorro.
His clothes make me wish I'd lived in that era but I'd need to have been a wealthy actor or a character in a musical. Still he looks terrific.
I always thought Betty Grable was over rated. She was my least favourite leading lady. Beautiful but not sexy. Funny that. Two different things. Grace Kelly was too. So is Nicole Kidman. Grable's clothes are amazing and the technicolor is superb. I love the feel but the theme song with the "tsk tsk tsk tsk" is the worst most annoying number in all of musicaldom.
The choreography is abysmal especially Greenwood's spots and there's something unsettling about her trademark high kicks.
The Nicholas Brothers save the day.
I'll watch it again.
