The Heat's On (2 Stars)

I was disappointed by "The Heat’s On". The film has lots of songs, but only one featuring Mae West, and there’s far too little of her overall. The only redeeming feature is Hazel Scott, who gets two superb musical numbers and absolutely steals the film.

After watching the film I went back and watched Hazel Scott's two songs again. Her outstanding akill is proved in a scene where she plays two pianos at the same time. She's a brilliant musician that I'd like to see again, but that's not enough to make it a good film.
