It's amazingly dull, even with William Powell in the lead and guest appearances by the likes of Ray Bolger and Fanny Brice, so of course it won the Best Picture Oscar for 1936.

Chicago Reader
If the picture overcrowds its screen, at least we must admit it is an impressive kaleidoscope; and probably nothing short of that could reflect the gaudy career of America's foremost showman.

New York Times
Pretentious, packed with hokum and as richly sentimental as an Irving Berlin lyric, it is, as such, top-notch entertainment.

TIME Magazine
Like a man sitting hour after hour on top of a pole, it does excite a kind of wonder; wonder at how it manages to go on.

Esquire Magazine
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Although some of the production's technical aspects remain impressive, the dramatic elements come across as trite and many of the musical numbers are dated.

Product Description:
This movie still sets the standard for what musicals should be. The larger-than-life career of stage genius Florenz Ziegfeld is aptly celebrated in this marvelous musical biography. As if the big story and all-star cast weren't enough, they threw in such unforgettable tunes as "If You Knew Susie," "Shine on Harvest Moon," and "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody."
