There are many good moments in this movie, which by the way I like. Alica Silverstone gives a very performance - even in many scenes suggesting real majesty, Kenneth B is also good as might be expected. Nathon Lane is wonderful - especially in the musical numbers, which should be no surprise! He even makes something out of nothing with the poorly written comedy routines.
But the rest of cast for me was very uneven. I did like and I thought was brilliant the use of news reels to add an extra depth to the action. And they were well chosen to boot. also the songs were like the great hits of American song writing. I wish the performances were as good.They were not. especially 'On the Way you Look Tonight" And "I've got you under my skin.' But the goodbye scene when nothing is resolved with them singing "They Can't take that away from Me" were truly moving and sad. The war scenes in black & white wee excellent and the end when they reunited was truly moving - especially the headline "Victory!" For its faults this is a film well worth seeing. Just don't expect it to be a typical film.
