Extremely impressive but quite outdated

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2020)

Direction is excellent, music and dancing is perfect, decoration and effects are impressive.
Also historically it gives a full picture of the era of the transmission from "silent" to "talkie".
But judging it in total, that was a film to be a record breaker THEN (1952).
Today it is quite outdated and in some scenes too lengthy, almost boring.
