Reviews

If you like MGM circa 1939


(4 stars)

...then I think you'll like this. I've heard one episode. So far it is interesting since it has some great character performer like Fanny Brice & Frank Morgan, nice musical direction and songs, and a film excerpt. They seemed to follow the MGM product quality of this time pretty well. And where else would you hear Frank Morgan, Robert Young, Tony Martin and Meredith Willson pretending to be gossipy women? (see the end of the 381117 episode).
