this be a film that belong firmly to the 50 . very surprising that american film institute have choose this one for one for the best 100 american movie of all time . i have see practically all of the movie on that list and and this one be by far the most disappointing one of those . musical number ( and there many and many of them ) be very overlong and boring and and have absolute no connection with the story . the end of the movie have horribly over long ballet sequency and which naturally have no real relation to the story of the movie . it must be admit and that it be very well make and the music be ok and and the dance do with the high professional standard but there be no real reason why the sequence be include in the movie . the main character of the movie be extremely childlish and unlikeable and behaves in unpolite way . his mental age be about 14. if you want to see a good musical make on the golden age of musical and go and see singing in the rain .
