"A Shimmering, Glowing Star in the Cinema Firmament"

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2003)

One of the few films in existence where the ratings chart cannot go high enough, SITR contains my all-time favorite screen dancers (Kelly and Charisse) and number (the incredibly passionate and tender Wedding Night pas de deux with her 50-foot veil enveloping them in love, sex, and promise). Kelly oozed confident masculinity from every pore and Charisse was the only woman who could match him with her sexy, sensual femininity. What a team!
The rest of the film is perfection in every way--casting, performances, script, choreography, costumes, etc, etc. I've seen it more than 30 times and never do or will tire of it. Heavenly!!
