This is High Class

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2012)

There are people saying this is not "realistic..!!!". (and their right) Well....Harry Potter, The Lord of The Rings, Spiderman...Etc. Etc. Etc. are also in that category. Also---people never spontaneously burst into song---do they .?? I don't think director Robert Wise was going for realism when he made this. He was trying to entertain audiences.....thats all. Movies today....C.G.I. and Romantic Comedies in particular....are not in the least entertaining. This movie is also called cheesy (parts of it are), but its Danish Blue cheese ...not the mild Cheddar of todays garbage. Hollywood now...churns out a good movie...about every few years. This was made in 1965...it made an absolute fortune. It was made in a time when "musicals" were very popular. This period ushered in a great 70s ...when brilliant movies were common place. The 70s were a true golden age for high class films.
