Review of Starlift

Starlift (1951)
2/10
Pretty bad with a couple of ok dances mixed in

Warning: Spoilers
Awful, awful....terrible romantic plot. A big bore--with few likable dance moments but nothing to write home about. The usual non-live singing with a few people not singing for themselves. It's nice to see Cagney for a few seconds in the movie. Even he knew it was time to bail out after a couple of minutes.

One particular awful number was the "It's magic" number with Gene Nelson and tacky effects even for those days.

Interesting dance number with the lovely Virginia Mayo....a passable dancer in a short "island" number.

Patrice Wymore who was married to Errol Flynn in his last days appeared to have some dance talent butt come off quite sloppy in a poorly choreographed number while singing to someone else's dubbed voice.

SKIP THIS ONE.
