Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2019)

A masterpiece in cinema if there ever was one.
There's not much I can say about this film that hasn't been said before amazing acting, fantastic story, and the music ahh just a pleasure to watch it all. I've seen this marvel of cinema many times and watched it again last night (19th Sept 2019) and it's stil got the magic.
It's amazing to think at the time that this film wasn't even nominated for best picture category at the oscars and now 59 years later its listed as IMDb's top rated films at number 40 has embedded itself in our worldwide pop culture has a metascore of 97, it's rated fresh on rotten tomatoes with a 96% with an audience score of 95%
These aren't all just lucky coincidences folks this film really is that good and better and if u haven't seen it what's stopping you.
Just don't take a shower after watching this film :)
