Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
One of the great docos ever made with excellent clips from films over 70 years of cinema.....and some absolutely impossible to see in the 21 st century, this is a must for all aficionados of silent and 30s female spectacle. Part of a series of film history docos like HAROLD LLOYD's WORLD OF COMEDY or MGMs BIG PARADE OF LAUGHTER this was about the women and their Hollywood gorgeousness. Very successful in 1965 upon release and never been seen much since.....the world changed a lot the next year, and more so the year after, this last stop before psychedelia and rock took over is a valentine to Paramount and Fox's female stars. Fascinating and quite revealing, literally.
