The Ice Follies of 1939
Admin comments
The musical numbers are elaborate. Remarkable staging and choreography, with a lively comedy plot, which offers considerable entertainment in lavish scenery.
I present for comparison a Hollywood comparable “The Ice Follies of 1939”. On which Frank Nugent in The New York Times commented, "Far be it from us to rap one of Mr. Rapf's more glittering productions; what we mildly object to is the fact that the glitter does not extend to the dialogue, the incidents, the characters (for whom "fictitious" is an understatement) or the story, which is the one about the matrimonial clashing of two careers.
