Pure pleasure.

Its metatheatrical musical stylings border on the avant-garde under Minelli's nimble direction, and while the film certainly has some cringe-worthy sexual politics in hindsight, it's also a much better film than its reputation suggests.

It's certainly cumbersome in spots, but some zesty musical numbers and spirited performances help carry it over the finish line.

Judy Garland at her sexiest and most comedic, all at once.
