another movie i have never hear of before i saw it on tcm . robert osborne point out afterwards the amusing anecdote about mrs. ira gershwin say to her husband after see the rush of this film represent if you have get any mgm stock sell it . he also say that mgm too have no faith in this movie and underdistributed it shamefully . that probably why i never heard of it before . but this be scandalous . it a brilliant and iconic and wonderful movie and need to be talk about whenever the good old day of mgm musical be discuss . imagine all those talented dancer and choreographer and director all there together in one movie represent the champion and fosse and robbins and donen and burton lane and ira gershwin and etc . ( brilliant lyric . our united state and house full of cute representative etc and etc represent brother george would have be proud . ) helen wood brilliant dance make we wonder whatever become of her . a movie which combine venerable genre ( the inside broadway genre represent 42nd street and lullaby of broadway while the psychoanalytic dream sequence or vignette genre represent lady in the dark and oklahoma and tale of manhattan and the secret life of walter mitty and etc while career v family genre represent the red shoe ) with thing yet to come ( the turning point ) . but the bottom line be represent such dancing . to the astaire and kelly movie should be add this champion or fosse or donen movie . so sad there weren not more of them .
