PRO | | /td> | | | | "This Technicolor potpourri of songs, dancing and fun is a marvel of camera wizardry, joyous color schemes, charming costumes and seductive lighting effects. The only adverse criticism to be offered is that some of the sequences are a little somber, but even in these stretches Mr Anderson's highly artistic and imaginative mind is constantly apparent." | | (Mordaunt Hall, New York Times) | | | | "If [this] does not prove that the talking picture's death is 'greatly exaggerated' it proves a least that there is dazzling brilliance in its last dying flicker... There can... be no probable, possible shadow of doubt as the [this film's] popular success." | | (Bioscope) | | | | "[It] sets a new standard... The best thing about this picture is that it has a unity of spirit and idea... [It] is a show full of spectacular, artistic, and witty material that will appeal as strongly to the filmgoers who pride themselves on their intelligence as to those who like 'em hot and peppy." (uncredited US newspaper review) | | | | “Stylish, spectacular, revelatory early musical: a treasure trove.” | | (Halliwell's Film Guide, 2004) | | | |
