IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
A former stage actor and a respected director of many hit Broadway musicals - among them "The Ziegfeld Follies" - Edward Lilley came to Hollywood to make musicals. He directed almost a dozen of them for Universal; unfortunately, none of them approached the quality of his Broadway productions, being mostly low-budget, somewhat slapdash affairs featuring the likes of The Ritz Brothers, Bob Crosby and others on Universal's "B" list.
