This is genuine holiday joy-making, and the Rodgers tunes give zip and romance to the film.

The plot is flimsy, but it serves as an adequate framework for the bright dances and some clever songs.

It is luxurious, sentimental, elaborate, slick and fashionably trivial.

| Feb 28, 2023

Breezy, appealing, splashy with color, wistful on occasion, and embellished by the tuneful score.

Scenery of rich hues. Costumes of flashy color. An investiture of eye-compelling brilliance to make the tones of the rainbow look tarnished. You get it all in this rather wistful melody play.

Toe-tapping, super-scale screen musical.

A movie which is better than it's stage original.

Unadulterated musical entertainment.
