Lots of stars, so-so plot, 14 January 2002
6/10
Author: Dave (dallen775@earthlink.net) from Joliet, IL

OK Plot begins to bog down, then gets completely interrupted by a parade of stars, some of them annoying, some great. Highlight of stars is Judy singing, Mickey's impressions and Eleanor Powell seen in color. Highlight of movie is Gene Kelly's only dance number (the famous one with the mop). Really good actress Mary Astor is once again wasted.
