Only the Grand Finale is It submitted by KidBlue on September 21, 2021, 12:02pm The grand finale musical number is a terrific example of the wizardry of Busby Berkeley. Other than that, despite the talents of remarkable actors such as James Cagney, Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell and Frank McHugh, the plot drags. The script needed to be tightened up a bit.
