Excellent movie. Over 3 hours of the most elaborate sets and costumes. If only it was in color. Extraordinary acting by everyone involved. A real tribute to Ziggy's work and inspiration. Early examples by the likes of Ray Bolger, Fannie Brice and more. Mister Powell was solid and dedicated. A+++

I loved this movie, although not entirely historically correct, it was very realistic. It gives you a glimpse at life as it could have been, I mean, you don't have to accept it as history, but it is very accurate compared to others I've seen. My favorite part is When Fanny Brice meets Ziggy for the first time, and thinks he's a peddler. Then his wardrobe dresses her in this elegant black dress, with lots of ruffles. Only to come out and have him rip them off, put an old shawl on her and sing, "My Man" the song she would become famous for. I also enjoyed the parts pertaining to Anna Held, I think it was Excellent that they used someone with a real accent, and who wasn't faking one, although MGM was known for it's wonderful make believe. The best of the movie is the ending, but I will not spoil it for you, but As the stocks crash, so does Ziegfeld, and there is his rival. But the main point of the movie is Ziegfeld could sell confederate flags in Harlem, he could sell snow to the Eskimos, and he had more talent than any of us could ever hope to have.Read full review
Terrific scenes of what the actual Ziegfeld Follies were like. Likable performance by William Powell. Many delightfully familiar faces.

Another stellar performance from an actor with a very long and distinguished career. I am always ready to watch Mr. Powell in any production, due to his engaging and polished character portrayal. A movie not to be missed for his fans.
