This was a real treat...a lavish, high-budget, old-fashioned romance done as a musical with great music, direction, dance, non-stop brio. It was truly an astonishing display of cinematic imagination.
The story was over-egged and trite but with a film like this...so what? The only complaint I had was that the editing pulse was too fast. Most cuts were a second or so long...too short to fully enjoy the incredible set designs.
This film shames recent attempts at reviving the musical form by American studios.
