this be a musical with some marvelous rogers and hammerstein song and but they be mere accoutrement for agnes demille sagebrush ballet . every step be artistically perfect . the result be magnificent for choreography student and dance afficienados but tremendously slow for the rest of u . rod steiger be much too affect in his role . gordon mcrae be adequate and and but shirley jones and eddie albert come off a most memorable in an impressive and albeit overstuffed and cast . altogether and this be great art and dance and and music and but a so so movie .
