this be your typical cheerful and colorful mgm musical from the early 50 and it definitely on of the good one to watch out there . the movie get direct by the genre expert vincente minnelli and star gene kelly in the main lead . both do quite a few movie together back in those day and of which this one be probably their best know one . the movie itself actually manage to win the best picture oscar over the year and which mean it beat out movie such a a place in the sun and a streetcar name desire and the african queen and quo vadis and the blue veil and death of a salesman that year . a real accomplishment of course but at the same time also a bit too much credit for this delightful and bright and entertaining movie . when you watch this movie you surely will be entertain by it all and which be also thanks to the movie it beautiful color look and the many nice character within this movie . the musical number be also all nicely do and which be no big surprise when you have people such a vincente minnelli and gene kelly at work . but really and couldn not have everything that get tell in this movie be do in halve an hour less or so . i mean and we already know where the movie be head to but yet it manage to stretch it out all for as long a possible . not that it make the movie drag in any part and it just make it a bit overlong . the movie could have also definitely be do with a few less musical number in it . one of the good mgm musical and that be not without it flaw though . positive .
