despite the lavish production number and wonderful costume this film be a chore to watch . the murder mystery plot be just a vehicle to mount the musical number on but it often bring the proceeding to a staggering halt besides not be very involve . although there have obviously be a lot of money spend on them the number be badly stag and poorly photograph . it obviously a pre code film because the girl often wear very little clothing and there even a song sing the praise of marijuana . the performance be all one note although it nice to see carl brisson in a musical but when victor mclaglen and a the police lieutenent and lurch into view for the umpteenth time on the hunt for clue and you may want to throw in the towel or at least fast forward to the next number . pity the patron who be trap in the cinema on it release though .
