Thanks for so many interesting reviews. Alas, wasting the talents of its stars meant I feel compelled to give it such low score despite Judy Garland's delightful number, "But Not for Me".
This has badly dated both in terms of its excessive slapstick (Rooney doing a Lou Costello ride on a wild horse), silly slang gags ("snerdy") and a plethora of lame wisecracks from Rooney ("I'm free, white and ready ...") taking up almost half the dialogue.
And it's little wonder that Garland agitated for Busby to be replaced as its Director, given how unimaginatively his big finale scene is staged.
Remember, this was made at least a year after the Pearl Harbour attack, yet it conveys nothing of the massive changes sweeping through American society during that era.
