joefilmone Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 The other night ABC ran a dreadful print of this classic film- but to see it on the excellent Blu ray edition is to marvel at the the stunning beauty of the photography. Director Wise and specially screen writer Ernest Lehman did a masterful job of adapting the stage musical ( just compare it to the recent tv production ) Of course the perfect cast makes it all work- there are people who think of this movie as simple minded but see how hard it was for the studios to replicate it's magic.

johnm001 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The greatest screen musical ever made. The only film adaptation of a Broadway musical that is superior to its stage source. Link to post Share on other sites
joefilmone Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't think it would be on top of my list of best musical ever made but one of the top ten. Link to post Share on other sites
johnm001 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 For me, it's not just the best film musical ever made, but also one of my three-way ties for number 1 favorite movie of all-time, along with VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED and THE BIRDS. Link to post Share on other sites
