...would be impossible to recapitulate in detail the composite parts of this amazing movie. Space permits only brief mention of the outstanding performers. As Ziegfeld, William Powell is excellent; he doesn't look like the great man, but he disports himself in convincing and charming fashion. Myrna Loy does well with he small role of Billie Burke; Frank Morgan is superb as Billings, Ziggle's rival and boon companion; Ray Bolger has a small spot which he fills deliciously with his incomparably madcap dancing; Harriet Hoctor does a very charmingly graceful ballet and as we said before Luise Rainer seizes...

Colleagues who had played with him for years were amazed at Giese's facility, the way his big hand moved crab-fashion over the keyboard, producing harmonics and arpeggios with seemingly little effort.
