I enjoyed the lead and his rival's back

I enjoyed the lead and his rival's back and forth until it became abundantly clear that this 180 minute movie only had 1 move and beat you over the head repeatedly with that 1 move.

I haven't seen this movie for many years

I haven't seen this movie for many years, but I do know that it has possibly one of the most memorable, expensive to produce musical scenes ever entitled, "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody", an old 1919 song that eventually became Ziegfeld's theme song. When you watch this jaw-dropping scene, you wonder, aside from what it must have cost, how they could even devise and execute such a perfectly opulent number. Don't forget, "The Great Ziegfeld" won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1937 for this 1936 picture. It's about three hours long (185 min.), a bit long for a musical, especially in that age. At least it's long enough for fans to select their favourite numbers and leave out the uneven moments.
