Judy Garland's brief appearance in Till The Clouds Roll By as Marilyn Miller far outshines Ms. Haver's portrayal of Marilyn Miller. What a pity Ms. Garland couldn't be loaned out to Warner's to add some class to this otherwise paper-thin biopic. And what a treat it would've been to seen Judy and Ray Bolger together again on the silver screen, although I'm not sure if there would've been any chemistry between her and Gordon MacRae, whose stiff and lifeless performance is reminiscent of those given by Nelson Eddy in the 30's and 40's. And finally, I can't understand why Warner Brothers left off Ms. Miller's attempt to make it sound pictures. One of their biggest musical hits of 1929 was the film version of Sally, but their quick follow-up Sunny bombed.
