Ziegfeld Follies, In heaven, showman Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. fondly recalls his first Broadway revue, the Ziegfeld Follies of 1907. Even from heaven, he is hoping that he can, for one last time, create that same magic by mounting one last follies. As he thinks about who he would like to appear in these follies, he is assisted in realizing his fantasy, at least in his own mind, by such luminaries as Fred Astaire, Edward Arnold, ‘Lucille Ball’, Marion Bell, Lucille Bremer, Fanny Brice, Cyd Charisse, Judy Garland, Kathryn Grayson, Lena Horne, Gene Kelly, James Melton, Victor Moore, Virginia O’Brien, Red Skelton, Esther Williams, Keenan Wynn, and, of course, a bevy of beautiful girls.

Great entertainment

Ziegfeld Follies is a musical comedy from 1946, from the time when they made lots of musical movies.There really isn’t a plot in this movie, but who needs one anyway.As long the musical numbers are working, you really don’t need a plot in a movie like this.And then there are also some really funny sketches in the movie.Especially I liked Red Skelton’s and Keenan Wynn’s acts.They really make you laugh.And then it is great fun to watch Fred Astaire’s and Gene Kelly’s musical number.This was their only musical act together.Ziegfeld Follies has many great musical numbers.The younger generation doesn’t care so much about musical movies, but I’m a teen ager and I like these old musical movies.These kind of movies make me miss those times, and I wasn’t even born back then!

a review which sits comedy, music and parody together

This film is just what it says on the tin, a collection of pieces and sketches similar to those you would have seen in a real Ziegfeld show.

Introduced from Heaven by Ziegfeld himself (William Powell reprising his role of ten years earlier), the acts are rolled out one by one for our appreciation and enjoyment.

High points which spring to mind are Fred Astaire as a jewel thief, charming Lucille Bremer; and as a Chinese n’er do well wishing he could get Bremer the fan she wants. Cyd Charisse and others dancing through bubbles as Kathryn Grayson warbles ‘Beauty’. Judy Garland as ‘the great lady’ mocking Greer Garson. And of course ‘The Babbitt and the Bromide’ which teams Astaire and Gene Kelly for the first time.

The comedy segments sit less well today and all are too long, however, they’re not bad. Keenan Wynn struggles with a dumb telephone operator; Victor Moore has a tightwad lawyer who gets him into jail; Fanny Brice wins the Irish sweepstake; and Red Skelton advertises Guzzler’s Gin.

Add Lucille Ball and her cat girls, a touch of La Traviata, and a bevy of lovelies to open and close the show, and you can see why this film was a hit on its first release.

Good for historical interest and the frequent highs, but you might find your attention wandering now and then.

Unholy trinity

Three stars for the movie only. In spite of having leading actors, I was quite
disappointed with the overall movie. Good western movies are quite a
rarity nowadays.
As for the service, Mr. Brady has always delivered and is a pleasure to talk to.

A highly entertaining B-movie!

It may be considered a B-movie, but I found this film to be highly entertaining. The practical effects were great, and the performances by Ally Sheedy and Lance Henriksen were superb!

Item received was not as described

Item received was not 'starring Helen Hayes' despite her picture being on the DVD, it was actually the version with Joan Hickson. I raised a complaint one week ago but still heard nothing in reply. Very poor customer service.

Wild in the Country

The movie was very good.
