Though not one of Minnelli (or MGM's) best musicals, this pastice is worth seeing for the dancing of Astarire and Kelly (the first and only time in history), Fanny Brice's shtick, and Judy Garland in a wonderfully satiric impersonation of Greer Garson

Some of the performances are standouts, but just as many are utter duds.
