 | By focusing on Kern's Hollywood years, the show inevitably downplays his early Anglophilia and impact on the Broadway musical with Show Boat, though we are reminded that the first of the musical's three movie versions was almost sunk by casting a Germanic tenor as Gaylord Ravenal. But the main purpose is to get on as many songs as possible, and to hear once again A Fine Romance or The Way You Look Tonight is to be reminded of an era when musicals were a source of escapist pleasure rather than industrial enterprises. - Billington, Guardian | |||||
