It has Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth to sing and dance. And virtually every nook and corner is draped with beautiful girls.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Fresh
A lush 1944 musical vehicle built for Rita Hayworth at the height of her popularity.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
The whole thing, especially the comic stuff from Silvers and Arden, is executed with considerable brio. And Rudolph Mate's Technicolor photography is faultless.
