knew Marilyn Miller when I was 17 in the 60's. got the movie, 26 June 2003
Author: cherry-10 from USA

Enjoyed the movie because it brought back memories of the time we spent together and some conversations we had. She played the piano and sang the title song at my wedding. A fine musical tribute to a great lady. the description of her in the movie "As The Clouds Roll By" [a story of Jerome Kern] fits her to a tea. WHIMSICAL she was. Surprise! Surprise! Enjoyed the movie but never expected to see the superb performance of Ray Bolger. No one should miss this or the way Judy Garland sang the title song as she did on Broadway, in the Jerome Kern story. My comments would not be complete if I didn't mention that she always insisted PLEASE! call me "DOLLY"
