This movie just drags on and on, for 2 hours and 12 minutes. Judy, Hedy, and Lana are gorgeous, but even their legendary beauty can't save this. Most of the numbers are pretty good, especially Always Chasing Rainbows, sung marvelously by Garland, and You Stepped Out of a Dream, in which Lamarr looks particularly ethereal. The story is just plain bad, worse than most Metro fluff. It tries to be dramatic, but winds up silly. (One movie that succeeds the drama angle while still having good numbers is 1942's For Me and My Gal, also starring Garland.) Maybe I'm being a little too hard on this, maybe not, but in my humble opinion this movie is strictly for fans of Judy, Lana, Hedy, Jimmy and M-G-M.
