This particular specimen is as fine a musical as you would expect from MGM in 1953. Another jaunt into showbiz, we accompany a troupe attempting to put on a Broadway show designed around an over-the-hill entertainer and a young ballerina but hijacked by a producer who wants a modern Faust story. Characteristic of the genre, comedy and dance numbers abound—with just a touch of heart, of course.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
“I’ve had enough! …nevermind saying it: ‘Tony Hunter, 1953!’ I hereby declare my independence: ‘Tony Hunter, 1776!’”
“I should have listened to my mother. She told me only to be in hit shows.”
“You’ve got more scenery in this show than there is in Yellowstone National Park!”
