Listener Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Ziegfeld Follies (DVD)
This movie is more of an excuse to put all of MGM's stars into one movie. The movie is set up like it was a real Ziegfeld show. It has no plot, it's just a show with some variety acts from singing, to dancing and some comedy acts! William Powell is Ziegfeld and he is watching the show from Heaven. Anyway the acts include: Here's to the Girls- Fred Astaire sing this number and it is danced by Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire. This a big production number with a chorus. Lucille Ball is in this number too. Virgina O'Brien appears right after this number and sings. A Water Ballet- Esther Williams does what she does best, swims! Number Please- This is a comedy skit with Keenan Wynn. Traviata- A opera number with James Melton and Marion Bell. Pay the Two Dollars- Another comedy skit with Victor Moore and Edward Arnold. This Heart of Mine- Fred Astaire sings this number and dances with Lucille Bremer. A personal favorite. A Sweepstakes Ticket- Another comedy skit with Fanny Brice, Hume Cronyn and William Frawley (Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy). Love- The lovely Lena Horne sing this song. Another personal favorite! When Television Comes- A comedy skit with Red Skelton. Limehouse Blues- A dance number with Fred Astaire and Lucille Bremer with a chorus. A very strange number in my opinion. A Great Lady Has "An Interview"- A musical number with the great Judy Garland. Another favorite! The Babbitt and the Bromide- Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly dance in this number. My favorite number in the whole movie! Beauty- The lovely Kathryn Grayson sings this number. Also a chorus of girls. Cyd Charisse is the featured dancer in the bubbles. As for DVD extras, New featurette Ziegfeld Follies: An Embarrassment of Riches Vintage MGM Crime Does Not Pay short The Luckiest Guy in the World 2 classic MGM cartoons: The Hick Chick Solid Serenade Audio-only bonus: outtake songs If Swing Goes, I Go Too, This Heart of Mine and We Will Meet Again in Honolulu Ziegfeld movies trailer gallery Both remixed Dolby Surround Stereo and original Mono English Audio Subtitles: English, Français & Español (feature film only) Overall this movie is alright but if you love the MGM musicals I say give it a try. It's a very interesting movie.
