well-staged serious passages that elevate film to classic status
The all-star-cast model, favoring aggregate

additional impact to her role in the film.
Director Gregory La Cava smoothly mixes actors playing
actors, quick clever banter, female camaraderie, cynicism, despair,
hope, and the magic of live performance.
