...Social Democracy to Communism, Zapotocky changed his label too. He became one of the first Communist deputies in free Czechoslovakia's politically tolerant Parliament. After Hitler came, Zapotocky spent six years behind barbed wires at Sachsenhausen, moved from there into the presidency of the Czechoslovak Revolutionary Trade Union Movement and resumed his seat in Parliament. His contribution to last February's Communist coup was vital: he had organized and armed the factory "action committees" which subjugated non-Communist workers...

The color-juicy oils and dark pastels, used with taste and intelligence-equals the best on movie record (Vanity Fair, Colonel Blimp, Henry V), and is the one unqualified triumph of the show. The composition and movement have Minnelli's Mediterranean sumptuousness. The tunes and lyrics are good grade-B Porter. Miss Garland's tense, ardent straightforwardness is sometimes very striking; and Gene Kelly does an arrestingly ambitious job.
