Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

Contains one of the greatest set-pieces in American musicals.

Synthetic outdoor backdrops look oddly out of place in some scenes, but the show happily brims with gusto and melody. Howard Keel and Jane Powell top the cast.

Good tunes, humour, imaginative presentation and abounding vitality are welded together to make this film the most Memorable Musical of 1954.

Film4

The songs are not classic and the cast is exuberant rather than charismatic, but Kidd's energetic choreography triumphs.

A profoundly sexist and eminently hummable 1954 CinemaScope musical with some terrific athletic Michael Kidd choreography and some better-than-average direction by Stanley Donen.
