La reducida aparición de Eleanor Powell resta interés a la película. La Metro hizo una muy mala adaptación de la comedia musical de Broadway; en realidad lo que hizo fue robar un título que le sirvió de reclamo. Por otra parte el DVD ofrece muy buena imagen y aceptable sonido.
THE dvd of Eleanor Powell to get is "born to dance"which is quite frankly her best .Almost every scene has her doing an amazing dance routine AND the famous battleship number (eat your heart out cher!) Cole Porter's music plus James Stewert,Virginia Bruce,Una Merkel and Francis Langford,such a line up.Although its in b/w it actually is probably better for it. A real treat.This double dvd set is excellent value as it also contains "lady be Good",which ,while good,doesnt quite come up to the other movies standard (well a bit of a hard act to follow so maybe I'm being a bit unfair there).Get it for the first movie and count yourself lucky you get the other one as a bonus. Especially as this price.Highly recommended
I've never seen tap dancing with a dog before. Forget the story, it's just an excuse to put out a bunch of great performances. You'll really get a kick out of the scene of tap dancing with the dog. Incredible.
When I started to watch this DVD, I didn't like it until I was about 20 or 30 minutes in. The movie kept getting better and better. By the time it was over I was thoroughly pleased. The video and audio quality on my DVD was excellent.
The excellent prints and sound make these two films a pleasure to watch. 'Born To Dance' is the better of the two but 'Lady Be Good' is also enjoyable mainly for Powell and the Gershwin and Kern tunes. It's also fairly apparent that 'Born to Dance' was near the beginning of Powell's MGM career and 'Lady Be Good' was near the end. The oddity of 'Lady Be Good' is that while MGM always promoted Powell's great legs, they are very much covered in both of her big dance numbers but the dancing is wonderful and that includes the numbers by the Barry Brothers. The title tune with the dog (her only partner in this film) is fairly amazing considering there are no special effects used. No complaints about 'Born To Dance', it's one of Powell's best with a fine supporting cast and some great Cold Porter music.
Sothern made film history with her heart-rending rendition of the Oscar winning song, The Last Time I Saw Paris, and the rest of her performance made her a star. Although only a few of the original score's songs were retained, the plot is likable, as are the characters and performances. Still, it's Sothern's Paris that glows at the center.
