Amazon.co.uk Review
The 1954 dinosaur There's No Business Like Show Business brought together two giants of Broadway, Ethel Merman and Irving Berlin, just as their moment was passing forever, to create one last hurrah: a celebration of the glories that were vaudeville. Still, it's hard to imagine Broadway--or nightclub entertaining, for that matter--ever being quite this lavish and satisfying. The story centres on a married couple, the Donahues (Dan Dailey and Merman), who live on the road as vaudeville entertainers and, as they have children, begin incorporating the kids into the act. Eventually, the kids grow up to be Donald O'Connor, Mitzi Gaynor and Johnny Ray--and they begin having interests of their own. Donald's is an ambitious showgirl (Marilyn Monroe), whose stand-offish response to his romantic overtures drives him to drink. The film is best remembered for its lavish, splashy production numbers built around some of the best of the Berlin songbook, including the title tune and "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody" among others. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

2.0 out of 5 stars Musical spectacular, 9 Aug 2002
By N. D. Searle "Nicc1" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: There's No Business Like Show Business [VHS] [1954] (VHS Tape)
There's No business like Show business is a very cheesy stereotype of a musical. Marilyn although is excellent in it but is easy to see why she was not enthusiastic about making it.

It is an excellent showcase of Marilyn's singing and dancing skills!

The costumes are exquisite, and Marilyn gets all the best songs and outfits.

She is beautiful and I highly recommend it just because marilyn is in it but I dont recommend it for the story line.

Worth watching though just for Marilyn Monroe!!!!
