Reviews for The Band Wagon
Review - Band Wagon, The
The best line was during “The Girl Hunt” ballet. Astaire’s character, referring to Charisse’s character who was slinking across the stage, said, “She came at me in sections.”
A few of the songs were OK. The only one I’d heard before was “That’s Entertainment,” and possibly “Louisiana Hayride.” I also liked “The Triplets,” but not much else. None of the songs had anything to do with the plot of the movie or the plot of the play they were supposed to be part of. Cyd Charisse was appealing in her role. Astaire was Astaire, but seemed a bit old and never really let loose.
