this be a very loose remake of the wonderful roberta and one of jerome kern fine broadway show . the original movie star fred astaire and ginger rogers and and irene dunne ( in one of her fine singing role on screen and the other be the original showboat ) . there be absolutely no comparison between these movie . the original be really a fabulous art deco wonder and and include a fashion show near the end and during which an extremely young and very blond lucille ball can be see a a model . skip this horrible movie and see the original in all of it splendor . as much a i love ann miller and kathryn grayson and this be far from their best work and and i simply can not stand red skelton .
