ava gardner and kathryn grayson and howard keel and marge and gower champion all under the sure and competent direction of george sidney where be they . in which sky be those star shin now . maybe only in our memory . this be the golden era of musical where other giant such a stanley donen and vincente minnelli a director and fred asteire and ginger rogers ( a little before ) and gene kelly and cyd charisse a performer distinguish themselves . this movie be a landmark in the history of musical movie by the beauty of it lyric and music and dance number . and the scenery of course . just only to watch ( and listen to the song ) the sequence where that old tune old man river be sing be this movie worth to be see . usually in these musical the story be the weak part of the movie but here it have even enough dramatic depth to interest the viewer . a very good movie in conclusion .
