Gloss and Garland
This is a comparatively minor work from the golden age of MGM musicals. In its appearance it lacks none of the gloss and professionalism of the better-known films, but the story is flimsy. While no less than six writers are credited, from the way the story peters out it's as though they grew tired of fighting among themselves and eventually decided to call it a day. There are only a handful of songs, but these are top quality products by Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer. The film’s main appeal will be to Judy Garland fans.
