Rating: C --
If you're looking for a good film that features Irving Berlin tunes, this one is not the film you're looking for.

The decline of the musical starts here. Faux Kelly just doesn't work.
Greenwich Village Gazette
Rating: B --
Though Marilyn Monroe was the country's biggest movie star, this plotless musical, a tribute to the genius composer Irving Berlin, belongs to Ethel Merman.

Corny, loud, splashy, but it has Merman and solid cast

Maybe if it didn't have Johnny Ray...

Rating: 2/5 --
The movie does not blend the magic of music, dance, and emotion in the way which the best musicals do.

Overstuffed and cornball, but some great Berlin musical numbers, especially Monroe's "Heat Wave."

Product Description:
Walter Lang's lush musical story--buoyed by Irving Berlin's brilliant score--follows the Donahues, a singing, dancing, drinking Irish Catholic family, as they rise to fame on the theater circuit during vaudeville's last hurrah between World War I and World War II. The stellar cast includes a young Marilyn Monroe, physical comic whiz Donald O'Connor, pop singer Johnny Ray, and dancing phenomenon Mitzi Gaynor. With lavish production numbers, which rival those of any other musical of the 1950s, and numerous famous tunes, including "Remember," "Heat Wave," "Play a Simple Melody," and the showstopping title tune (belted out by the incomparable Ethel Merman), THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS is an exuberant geyser of vaudevillian panache, star power, and song.
