the snorer stopped the film cold, but not in a good way
The movie was going along swimingly, nice singing and dancing,(even Taylor was good), the story was flowing nicely too. But then, out of the blue and with no reason imaginable, they put in this guy with his snoring routine and stopped the film cold, and not in a good way, it took you right out of the movie.
For starters, the bit was'nt funny, boardering on gross, another thing is, it took up the time of Jack Benny (though not in a pleasant role, he's usually, yes, a tight wad and fussy, and such, but always sweet, he's kind of nasty here). And the bit went on too long. And to make matters worse, they reprised the "bit" later on.
MGM seemed to have a habit of this kind of inane interruption in their films. In "Born to Dance", they had Reginald Owens playing a policeman, pretending that he was leading an orchestra, again not funny and again for no rhyme or reason, and out of place as well.
All the girl were very cute. It's easy to see why they were stars.
Last word: the movie was excellent.
