Customer Reviews of The Great Ziegfeld
1st hour Dull--2nd Hour a Masterpiece--3rd a mixture The title just about sums up my review. The dramatic sequences of this film really don't stand the test of time; they're alternately melodramatic and boring. To modern day audiences, the 1st hour, in particular, is almost unbelievably dull. <
> <
>But when the production numbers begin at about the second hour, the senses are overwhelmed. I don't think I've ever seen a more spectacular production--ever--in 30 years of viewing movies. No superlative adequately expresses this production. More beautiful girls than you ever saw, more beautiful gowns, more beautiful music, just doesn't exist anywhere else on celluloid. I wonder who the handsome crooner was? His voice was haunting in its beauty. <
> <
>The third hour is part melodrama, part musical production. The circus number is first-rate, but doesn't match the sheer genius of the 2nd hour. <
> <
>You must watch this movie at least to enjoy the numbers!
The Great Ziefgeld
I just wish they'd make movies like this one today instead of all the rubbish they churn out of Hollywood.
The Best Musical Ever Made
This movie is great family entertainment. It keeps your attention the whole way through the picture. The stars include William Powell, Luise Rainer, Frank Morgan, Fannie Brice, Ray Bolger and others. The movie has comedy, drama, romance, it has it all. The production number at the end of the first half of the film is well done. It shows a large cake design that revolves slowly and on the top is seen a girl dressed as a queen with a sky of stars in the background. One stage number shows many balloons floating slowly towards the camera and behind them is one scene after another of beauty. Another number shows a line of dogs standing still while girls dance around them. Another great number shows couples living in fancy houses, but the scenery is on moving platforms, three of them, and each one moves at a different time. The couples are singing in this scene. Then is seen a large number of tapdancers dancing on these moving platforms. There is also a fashion show with girls wearing very costly gowns and large plumes on their heads. If you like MGM musicals, you should see this one. You wont be dissappointed. The movie centers around the life of Florenz Ziegfeld. When you watch this movie for the first time, you will want to watch it again and again.
