I know all musicals are a bit inane, but this one takes the cake. Even though it's a fantasy, it could have been better. Plot is weak and the music a little better. Judy is a bit exaggerated and hyper in most of her scenes while Gene is all facade and hammy. Yes, he's portraying an actor, but still---- Nice color but inferior sets. Only Cooper gives a decent performance as Judys Aunt. "Be a Clown' good number, but didn't need to be repeated at the end. Made absolutely no sense as I guess the rest of the movie. It was a flop when released and I can see why.
