Review of Lady Be Good

Lady Be Good (1941)
6/10
Some Exceptionally Talented Artists
28 January 2013
"Dixie Donegan" (Ann Sothern) and "Eddie Crane" (Robert Young) are a married couple who write songs together. Unfortunately, Eddie lets the success go to his head and as a result their marriage ends in divorce. At least that was their initial plan. What both of them begin to realize is just how much they need and love each other. At any rate, rather than spoil the plot for those who haven't seen it all I will say is that this is a nice little musical which clearly showcases some exceptionally talented artists. Personally, what I really enjoyed was the performance of the beautiful Ann Sothern, who in my opinion dominated this film with her acting and singing. She was excellent. I especially liked the songs, "Lady Be Good" and "The Last Time I Saw Paris". And while this film certainly has its faults, it's still worth viewing by those who enjoy light-hearted musicals from time to time. Slightly above average.
