...head and broad shoulders above the course he represents, although he was steeped in Southern traditions and basted on both sides. His great-great-grandfather, John Russell, was a South Carolina plantation owner who held 100 slaves. General Sherman, on his way through Georgia, burned the cotton mills and freed the slaves of Grandfather William John Russell. Richard Brevard Russell Sr., Dick's father, was a Georgia lawyer and judge who served as the state's chief justice for 15 years before he died...

There is a delightful sequence in which Kelly dances down a puddle-filled street in a Technicolor downpour, and there are several gay take-offs on supercolossal Busby Berkeley girlie routines. But the show's biggest song & dance number is far from the best: a flossy 15-minute ballet about the Roaring Twenties that...
