  Review by Pippin ★★★½

  Much like Higher and Higher, Step Lively exists partially to simply showcase Frank Sinatra's talent as a singer over the plot. I have not seen the original Marx Brothers film, but I actually really enjoyed Step Lively.

  In the 1940s, quite a lot of Frank Sinatra's roles were playing sweet and naive men. I find him really nice to watch in these roles, and his acting definitely isn't at its best here, but he brings what's needed for this kind of film. It's silly by design and there were only a few moments that I really thought Sinatra wasn't bringing the right energy.

  The entire film is an enjoyable ride, and a lot of the jokes land. Is Step Lively going to be for everyone? No, but it's a pretty fun film as a whole!

  The best way to be a dramatic playright is through musical comedy!

  It's more than a little stupid, but it's based on a Marx Brothers movie so that's not really by accident. It's pretty funny though. I demand somebody colorize this so we can see Sinatra's innocent blue eyes the way they were meant to be!

  An average musical comedy but plenty of Frank so who cares?

  Review by Morgan 🌃 ★★★

  Film 21 of the April 2018 Scavenger Hunt
  Task 27: A film that fewer than five of your Letterboxd friends have seen.

  Frank's cheekbones, his hair, his face! He's so gorgeous I can't take it! 😍😭 His acting is so over the top here, it's not great but so very adorable. It's so great that he was able to stunt on everyone and win an Oscar ten years after this... I'm not crying, you are. I love the Frank Sinatra movies where they just transplanted him onto his character instead of making an actual different person for him to play, in this one they called his character "the Voice"!

  If it wasn't for Sinatra this film would be unwatchable.

  Review by j 🐚 ★★★

  i watched this for Sinatra, as anyone who knows me would assume. he was the main reason i liked this movie - because, when he wasn’t dazzling the screen with his beautiful cheekbones and silk-like voice, there was a whole lot of shouting (headache material) and some crazy fucking cultural appropriation

  3 stars for ol’ blue eyes
