“great piece of historical entertainment! Embodying the intersection of at least 3 critical eras of the show biz: Vaudeville, Baseball u0026amp; Film (also sound movies u0026amp; musicals).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCheck out the Harlem Madness number for dynamite production of the period (1920s, really). Nothing since has even approached the electricity captured in that performance, but lots have tried with endless derivatives (ending but not limited to Moulin Rouge with Kidman u0026amp; MacGregor).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure, the humoru0026#39;s creaky, the actingu0026#39;s stilted, the direction is confusing (although by two of the stalwarts of the golden age of film).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut hey, Washingtonu0026#39;s inaugural (or Lincolnu0026#39;s Gettysburg) address would look pretty dated now, wouldnu0026#39;t they? Iu0026#39;d still give anything to see them wouldnu0026#39;t you?”
