The Fabulous Dorseys (1947)

Due to an increase need of sleep and an old discovered interest in a childhood book, these next several reviews will be short, yet brief.

Mediocre rags to riches story isn't improved with horrid acting or lacking script. There is no question that the Dorseys were phenomenal with their music, but they were not destined to be film actors. This distracted from the overall themes of the film coupled with a bad side story about a childhood friend that could only come between them.

Good music, bad acting give this film a barely passable score.

Found in my "Seen that Now What" film book, I ended up going with a yellow highlight with a black mark. I would never like to see this film again, nor could I suggest it to the next person that walked in the door. Watch this film without the screen and only sound, it makes for an overall better "Fabulous Dorseys" experience.
