About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bright, song-packed classic musical with flirtatious one-upmanship and big showbiz spirit, like The Harvey Girls or Kiss Me Kate; Not for you if dated stereotypes or broad comedy bother you.
Pros: classic Irving Berlin songs; colorful, upbeat energy; playful rivalry romance | Cons: thin, draggy story; uneven lead performance; dated cultural portrayal
