I have a pretty high fluff tolerance when it comes to classic MGM musicals. "Lovely to Look At" makes me want to lower that level. They way the men treat the women, whose stake in the shop is equal to theirs, makes me want to scream, but those were the times. I can't help but wonder who's actually making those extravagant gowns, because the sisters don't even thread a needle. Much of it is pretty outdated.
What's not outdated are the Champion dance numbers. I've seen them all before, and they remain fresh, inventive, graceful and delightful to watch.
"Lovely to Look At" is worth watching just for those.
