  All the old favourites!
  
  If you love Cole Porter's music you will love this film. His lyrics are fantastic and manages to get the most unlikely words to rhymne. Good family film... read more »

  A trip to Nostalgia
  
  Yes, of course, modern films are much more authentic and 'real' looking but it's still a very good nostalgic treat. I got it out for my mum who was ... read more »

  Not quite the top.

  Good for a lazy Sunday afternoon

  Pretty Awful
  
  A poor production with a misplaced cast. Made the ‘Glenn Miller Story’ seem like Citizen Kane in the light of this. Very little emotion in this film... read more »
