The best reason for the movie was to raise money for the war effort, which it handsomely did. Go to Full Review

Apr 28, 2019 The best movie song ever sung: Honeysuckle Rose!
Draco S Mar 21, 2017 Thousands Cheers fut développé pour l'effort de guerre et n'a aucun but artistique si ce n'est de conter une histoire d'amour inintéressante au possible entre Kathryn Grayson et Gene Kelly (qui ne se contente que d'une séquence de claquettes) pendant 1h15 avant de rentrer dans le plus intéressant : une suite de sketches, de chants et de danse par les All-Stars de la MGM de l'époque (dont Eleanor Powell, Lena Horne et Red Skelton se sortent particulièrement bien), qui n'a plus aucun ambition scénaristique. Si l'on passe outre le fait qu'on est plus devant un ancêtre de Sacrée Soirée que devant un vrai film, Thousands Cheers se sauverait presque. Mais au bout de 2h10, c'est un poil longuet. See more
