Love's Labour's Lost

Summary

A jukebox musical film held back by weak acting and writing. 'Tis all seeds of "Love's Labour's Lost." The outstanding ensemble cast, the charming pairings of the lovers, the song and dance numbers (including a sizzling "Let's face the music and dance"), the costumes and sets, Branagh's script and the "Cinetone News" segments, his impeccable direction, and Patrick Doyle, a vital collaborator who provided the attractive score -- collectively made this romantic musical comedy most entertaining.
