One sentence plot summary: A biopic about the life of musical producer Florenz Ziegfield.
Starring: William Powell, Myrna Loy, Luise Rainer
Best of: The end credits.
Worst of: Dear sweet Lord this is a long movie. I suppose all of the musical sequences were seen as elaborate and impressive in 1936, but now they just come off as overlong distractions from an already meager plot. I never really cared, but I stopped caring even a little bit halfway through the three hour film.
I would have liked it better if: they cut out every single musical feature.
