i be have just about the bad day of my life . then i stumble on this cute film and watch it and and now i be ready to go out and kiss a streetlamp . i have to admit and i only watch it for 2 reason represent vera ellens legs . but it really so much more . the plot be actually quite clever and creatively woven . it almost like a shakespearean comedy with all of it delightful misunderstanding . and of course there also . vera ellens leg . the only unfortunate aspect of this film be that the version i purchase ( the 100 family classic collection by mill creek entertainment ) doesn not have the best video quality and and i have hear the same about the alpha release . the brightness and contrast be a bit too high and so a lot of the scene seem bleach out especially when vera be dance in a white dress . but i suppose you can fiddle with the control of your tv set to compensate . i can only imagine how it look on the big screen back in 51. the stage set and costume and colour be otherwise dazzling and delightfully creepy sort of in a cabinet of dr. caligari vein . as far a the romance go and this be just perfect . not sappy and not contrive and not melodramatic . just 100 % ahhhhhh . too bad and you poor schmuck and your miserable life will never be as charm a this . har har har . wait and what be i laughing at . my life suck just as bad a yours . oh hell . time to watch this movie again .
