A silent film production company and cast make a difficult transition to sound.

A pair of silent movie stars make the transition to talkies.

My wife and I had been dreading watching this movie. Turns out it's one of the best movies from the 1950s that we've seen. They don't take it for granted that singing and dancing is entertaining in itself. It's funny, and the dancing is delightful and impressive, incorporating a lot of Vaudeville-style gags. All that's missing is the Muppets. I guess I should give Hollywood musicals a chance, and stop judging them based on stage musicals and bad Disney movies.

Pure deligt. The songs, the dances, the plot. The costumes has more to do with the fifties than with the twenties. But, why care about that? This movie puts you in a very good mood. ( )
