THE greatest musical of all time

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2007)

I think this film is the greatest musical ever made. In fact, it is in my all time top ten of any films. What is there not to like in this pic? True, there is little in the way of plot, but that is more than made up for in the singing and dancing. Gene Kelly had no equal when it came to choreography. I defy anyone to watch him in full flow and not be in awe. The title song will lift your heart on the lowest of days and I personally, will never tire of it. A great cast supports Kelly and should be given credit. I remember the first time I heard Lena say "What do they think we are, dumb or something!". Sheer joy! Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor each contribute significantly and should be congratulated for their professionalism in the face of Gene Kelly's apparent tyranny. I could go on and on, but will end by reiterating my original assertion the this is THE greatest musical ever made and will NEVER be topped. They certainly don't make them like that anymore!
