Rating:  - MEMORABLE
ANOTHER CLASSIC MUSICAL. GREAT MUSIC BROUGHT BACK WONDERFUL MEMORIES. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANY MORE. SUCH A SHAME.
Rating: - Ferrer's Acting and Romberg's Music...... EXCEPTIONAL!
Music (like time) changes constantly and continues to evolve (or devolve) with each generation. In the 1920s when Romberg produced his most successful plays, the Broadway show was in its early or formative stages (no pun intended). Operettas were popular in Vienna and Europe producing outstanding music in formulaic plays. Strauss (the younger), Smetana, Gilbert & Sullivan, Lehar and Kalman, to name a few, were hugely gifted and loved in their respective countries since they were giants of their ... Read More
Rating: - Little known Gem
This is almost pure "schmaltz" but it is still a gem. It is a "biography" of Sigmund Romberg. I have the VHS which I haven't watched for awhile so please forgive my memory. It includes cameos of several MGM stars...the only one of which I can remember for certain at the moment is Howard Keel in a production number of YOUR LAND AND MY LAND FROM "My Maryland". I'm sure that "Stouthearted Men" is included as well as something from "The Desert Song" It ends with "I'll be seeing you" I saw it ... Read More

The recreations of Romberg's famous shows, with top stars of the day, are worth the price of admission all by themselves. Add in one of the funniest routines ever filmed (Ferrer's acting out of "jazzadoo", good performances by all the main actors and some of the best music ever written (in my humble opinion) and you have a great show. ...

Rating:  - Uneven (like most bios), but not without its rarities.
This film is a curiosity more than anything else. I rented it years ago and found it uneven at best. Like most of MGM's alleged 'composer biographies,' it distorts the details of the composer's actual life (in this case, Broadway stage/operetta afficionado Sigmund Romberg) and hangs all of his magnificent songs on an all-star coatrack. And there lies the attraction: seeing Gene Kelly in his only on-screen appearance with real-life brother Fred; seeing Jose Ferrer's bride Rosemary Clooney in her fresh-faced ... Read More
