Du Barry Was a Lady

Du Barry Was a Lady
MGM
August 13, 1943
Musical, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance
DVD
B

An uneven but often delightful movie, with topical references to the War, pinball machines, Kay Kyser, etc.  The costumes are stunning and some of the musical numbers are a hoot.  Don't try to make sense of the plot, just have fun with it.  Roy Del Ruth directed, a couple years after Topper Returns.

(This is on a "Great Cinema Legends" collection, focusing on Lucille Ball.  Oddly enough, it includes Room Service, which is more of a Marx Brothers movie, but I own it anyway.)
