Very spectacular is an understatement. The sets are crazy big. The title dance number alone has Ellie probably in the largest assemblage of dancers ever, hundreds, maybe a thousand. If you dig drums, then eat your heart out. The drums here are so big she dances on them. And massive pipe organs.
It’s MGM, so The Wizard Of Oz Frank Morgan plays her absent-minded dad & The Scarecrow Ray Bolger is also here as Nelson Eddy’s buddy. Bob Hope’s perpetual sideman Jerry Colonna, aka Alice In Wonderland’s The March Hare, is also in it. Cole Porter debuted a lot of his songs in Ellie’s films, including this one.
