'Ruggles does a blatant and bad impression of Vistor Moore (who played the part on Broadway'. One must suppose that the reviewer who 'wrote' this actually attended the Broadway show. And saw Victor Moore's performance... it's hard to imagine that the one dimensional Moore could have been better in the role than Ruggles, had anyone still living possibly have seen him in it.
In any event, the best I could do to see this was watch a poor quality version with Spanish subtitles on youtube. I was entranced from the get-go and laughed all the way through this delightful film. It's true that there are continuity problems, particularly at the start of the film, and it is surprising that a stalwart director like Lewis Milestone could be responsible for these brief but confusing problems. But the film is lively, heartfelt and highly entertaining despite these lapses, and the musical numbers are wonderful. The comedic wit displayed throughout kept surprising me with its unexpected diversity and irreverence. It is remarkable that much of the original score of the Broadway hit was discarded in favor of new songs, but Hoagy Carmichael's Moonburn almost makes up for it.
