...Parisian institution that lends its name to the production receives only a minimum of attention, which is just as well, since the poor "Folies" as interpreted by cosmopolitan Hollywood seem to have taken on the Busy Berkeley tradition, all of which we greet with cautious skepticism and even displeasure.

Cinemaddicts who feel that this represents a perceptible improvement on Berkeley's shadow waltz in Gold Diggers of 1933 are likely also to enjoy the presentation...
Entries for what he whimsically called "a new Blue Riband of the World's Soup Tureen" were called for in London last week by elegant Managing Director George Reeves-Smith of swank Claridges, the Berkeley and the Savoy.
