i primarily start to watch this to see who cyd charisse be . i hear a lot about her through the year and and know she pass away this year to much fanfare . so i want to check her out . this movie be perhaps not the best movie to try to showcase her talent . let me start by say im not a huge fan of the musical genre to begin with . i often find their plot to be lack and contrive . this one be no different . cyd be indeed very beautiful and a talented dancer . her acting be so so and however . i guess i just do not find loosely strung together number with no real plot to tie everything together a waste of time .
