Description:The kind of movie studios were churning out in the mid-20th century, with a simplistic plot that exists only to show song and dance numbers. Ann Sothern and Robert Young play Dixie and Eddie Crane, a song-writing couple who only seem to get along and write well when they're not married. A judge (Lionel Barrymore) finally decides that married people need to stay married and, suddenly, the couple get a long great. Elanor Powell, Red Skelton, and Virginia O'Brien are along to no purpose except to perform
My Rating:6

Reviews for Lady Be Good

Review - Lady Be Good

A couple of the songs were memorable. The much-ballyhooed dance numbers left me cold, although Eleanor Powell actually looks more attractive dancing in pants than in the short outfits she usually wears because she doesn't look some imposingly athletic. The plot was just annoying.
