Why Lovely to Look At 1952 Stands Out in MGM History
A remake of the 1935 film Roberta, this 1952 production premiered on May 29, 1952, blending Kern’s classics with dazzling dance numbers by Marge and Gower Champion. The film’s fashion show sequence, showcasing 1950s glamour, paired with Grayson’s operatic vocals and Keel’s rich baritone, makes this album a cultural treasure. Ann Miller’s tap-dancing energy in “I’ll Be Hard to Handle” and the romantic duet “Yesterdays” by Grayson and Keel add to its charm, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the golden age of MGM musicals.
