A Wast Of Time and Money

I got the DVD at the local dollar store for $1. Katherine Hepburn is only in this movie for about 5 min. The clarity of this film is not very shabby. I'd rather want you to spend your money on better, more sufficient Katherine Hepburn movies.

Lots of great stars...but not as you remember them!

I expected more from this star-filled video. In fact, it's a simple story of love found and lost. The stars are not impressive, and I wouldn't recommend this unless you are desperate to see movie stars NOT acting. Yes, Benny Goodman plays and so do other people, but it's not worth the money. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy this. Wanna buy a used video? I'll sell you mine :-) December 9, 2007

Slightly Dated, with Some Top Acts!

With a corney love story which seems silly, given that after about 2-3 really dull dates, the two heart throbs finally get a shot-gun wedding. And some of the "Stars" are apparently somewhat smug in their special roles. Having said that, there are some really fine pieces here: Ray Bolger doing one of the most incredible tap dances ever filmed, Ed Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, Benny Goodman and his orchestra with Peggy Lee doing a sultry "Why Don't You Do Right",and CountBasie and his Band leading the performances. Worth checking out just for these 4 acts! And there are several others almost as good. April 7, 2006

not hepburn

This was listed under hepburn. she has a brief cameo at the end of the film. I would not recommend this to someone who thinks thatt this is a hepburn piece.

It is a period piece with performances by famous WWII era stars; Ray Bolger, al jolson, and others. October 10, 2004
