Critiques (2)
A magnificent biography of the man behind the Ziegfeld Follies phenomenon. Although the film had to be planned as an intermission screening, the sequences from Follies are definitely worth your time. Something so grandiose and lavish may have faded from the art of filmmaking over time, but thanks to old films, the shows live on to this day. It's important to keep coming back to them. ()
I can't help but feel that as a human story, it's quite classic, with a fairly standard development, only some scenes liven it up and give it soul. The musical and cabaret numbers are interesting, sometimes because of how long they are. But as an introduction to Flo Ziegfeld, this is definitely a good film that won't offend. ()
