Likely The Great Ziegfeld will be catalogued as the most sumptuous cinemusical ever produced. Truly a "colossal" show, it is the musical spectacle to end all such. [12 Apr 1936, p.39]
The Great Ziegfeld is a monument in celluloid to the great American producer, Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. He would have been proud to write his name across it as producer. [13 Apr 1936, p.18]
Don't let the spectacle and the hugeness of the film scare you -- it's good entertainment. [02 Jun 1936, p.19]
It is, as it stands, a lavish creation. [13 Apr 1936, p.3C]
Fanny Brice is herself, though she isn't on screen enough to vitalize this lavish, tedious musical biography; it goes on for a whopping 3 hours.
