Zaza

I liked "Zaza" from 1939 even though it is a simple story and almost like a play. The situations and characters felt believable and Claudette is at her most adorable and flirty in this role. There were much less dance and musical numbers than I expected, this is more of a drama about backstage life. Worth seeing if you like the old-timey feel and costumes which are now dated but pleasant nonetheless. I'm rating this film a 7.5 rounded up to 8/10. And Cukor's direction was excellent as per usual, and nothing too offensive here, so a good watch if you like older films or are a fan of Claudette's.
