"Undemanding, but pleasant entertainment."
“Marilyn Monroe, who drives Donald out of show business and into uniform, has three songs to sing and performs them in her trademark seductive way (...) The cast is great (...) " There's No Business Like Show Business "is a great revue film full of colors and melodies. Quite simply a lot of wonderful emotionalism. "
