The idea of using the books in a library to infuse characters into a plot is full of possibilities. I was a bit disappointed in the result, although there are some decent moments. Most of the books that are featured are based on well-known movies, using the actors that played those parts as caricatures. For instance, William Powell is the thin man (and he is really thin). Where it bogs down is when the musical numbers have nothing to do with the books.
