Reviews for Yolanda and the Thief
One of Minnelli's weaker musicals, the film suffered from the casting of Lucille Bremer (producer Arthur Freed's mistress) in the lead role, for which she was too forsty and too old, and the public was not crazy about seeing Astaire playing a thief.
Truly unbearable; nothing works. When even Astaire isn't coming across, you know you're watching a stinker.
