    MGM's lush tribute to Jerome Kern was intended as a straightforward biography, but Kern's death in 1945 turned this biopic into a most moving celebration, as the studio's full roster of stars perform the composer's greatest numbers, climaxing with a ridiculously boyish looking Frank Sinatra crooning Ol' Man River. The film includes a potted version of Show Boat, with Lena Horne as Julie, and features some marvellous highlights, including a sequence featuring Judy Garland as Broadway star Marilyn Miller, directed by Garland's then husband Vincente Minnelli. The dramatic stuff, though, is heavily handled by former actor Richard Whorf, and Robert Walker is not ideally cast as Kern, though his moments with pal Van Heflin and daughter Lucille Bremer are occasionally touching. Watch this for the MGM talent on display, and the dazzling array of production numbers. Make tea during the plot.

    Better-than-average biopic with better-than-average tunes and stars.

    If you?re a Hollywood musical movie fan this may be one you might like to take a look at? I found it entertaining enough, though in between the singing and dance routines the interest in the story, for me, dropped rapidly, very slow pace. The copy from master to DVD was not brilliant but in saying that it?s worth hanging in there just to see baby faced Frank Sanatra singing ?Old man river? at the end.

    I rate it 5-10
