Reception

The New York Times has published an article in which he says, "The Gang’s All Here seems like an ingeniously designed vintage pinball machine: a triumph of mechanical engineering, not electronics." And continues: "the production was the apotheosis of Miranda’s career at Fox, and the other four films in the set follow its decline. Walter Lang's 1944 Greenwich Village, with Don Ameche and Vivian Blaine, and Lewis Seiler's barely recognizable version of the Cole Porter musical Something for the Boys, with Ms. Blaine and Phil Silvers, both have glorious Technicolor and decent production values," according to the critic, but in Doll Face and If I'm Lucky, Miranda had been reduced to supporting roles. "In the new realism that dominated postwar cinema, which stories could accommodate a character as utterly unreal as the Lady in the Tutti-Frutti Hat?," question.
