Excelente musical con la rutilante presencia de las grandes estrellas de la época. Basada en la vida profesional de los compositores Richard Rodgers y Lorenz Hart la cinta es una hermosa y antológica curiosidad aunque no alcanzara el éxito.

Just in case you didn't know, this movie will tell you: Lorenz Hart wasn't unhappy because he was a closeted gay man, but because--like Mickey Rooney--he was short. This is a horrible biopic, as bad as "Night and Day." Some nice songs, though. (I particularly like Perry Como's rendition of "Mountain Greenery.")

MGM with another excuse to put all their musical stars in one big extravaganza, using the the musical library of songwriter-duo Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart with Tom Drake & Mickey Rooney playing the roles, while rest of the star-studded cast playing themselves performing the numbers in true classic Hollywood style! You get Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Gene Kelly, June Allyson & a ton more! This is fine for what it was, but not exactly a true-to-life biopic, as if these kinds of films ever was.
