Review - Thousands Cheer

Weird movie. The first half is a love story, the second half a stage show. The two halves have very little to do with each other. In fact, it was obvious that none of the stars performed together—it was just a bunch of separate acts performed elsewhere and pasted together into the movie. Some halfway decent songs, but mostly an unmemorable, rather dull film.
