Firstly I LOVE this movie. A longtime favorite that often gets re-played.
This revue pertains to the "Second Sight" DVD release. IMDB correctly lists the running time at 84 minutes. You'll note that this DVD's run time is 80 mins. I compared it to an old, but not very high quality video transfer, to see what was missing. I found that the entire movie IS complete on this DVD and I must admit it's a beautiful transfer, but for some unknown reason they speeded it up about 5 percent, making this 84+ min. movie run in only slightly more than 80 minutes. I suppose it's a minor quibble, but I thought I'd put a heads up for anyone considering this particular release.

Ok - I hadn't got a clue what this film was about - no synopsis and no reviews. Its 4 women doing their wartime turns for soldiers at different camps. There is no storyline and their acts are pretty dreadful. The star guests aren't that good either. There are 2 good moments in the film - one is Carole Landis singing lit up by lighters as the lights go out because of an air raid, and the other is Mitzi Mayfair dancing like a crazy woman - very entertaining (she can kick the back of her head and her legs go everywhere!). My girlfriend wanted to keep the film just for her dancing but its NOT a good film. The extras are short but interesting as we find out about Kay Francis's lesbian tendencies, her "affair" with Carole Landis while on tour, and Carole ... Read More:

This was one of my favourite musicals when I was a teenager but it does not pass the test of time, the bright, television video lighting and erratic camerawork spoils many set pieces, and the wink wink innuendo doesn't seem as funny. But it was worth revisiting, if only for the anthems that were, after all, the soundtrack of my childhood.
