Love Those Musicals
Added 10/11/2009
This product is a 2-disc set. I bought this because I was able to get the original movie as well as the 1960 remake. I love the original version and find the remake entertaining. The 1960 version is a bit more edgy, but then again, anything with Ann-Margaret is a bit edgy...

Great Nostalgia Movie
Added 9/23/2009
I ordered this as a special treat for my mom (90 years old). We had a special movie night...popcorn and this wonderful film. It was fun to watch and hear and we had a great evening together. Kids today wouldn't appreciate this...but for us, it was wonderful.

Fun Story Line, Fantastic Musical, Sure to remain an Icon
Added 6/7/2009
Love the storyline, moves fast. The songs can be amusing, beautiful, and easy to learn. This story will never fade as each person can relate to one individual or another in the story. The clothes, scenes, and sheer pleasure that occurs within the story will forever remain with the viewer. Enjoy!

Mixed Emotions
Added 4/29/2009
You know, I really liked this movie the first time I saw it. I liked it a lot. However, by the third viewing I found it too sappy, so corny I couldn't watch it anymore.
I have no complaints looking at the wholesome, pretty women. Jeanne Craine, Vivian Blaine and Fay Bainter make a nice threesome. Craine never looked better, looking like a classic beauty, the ultimate girl-next-door that men would desire. The film as a whole is pretty; with some really nice-looking Technicolor.
However, as wholesome and nice as the people in here are, and as rich as the colors are, the dialog and thinking is so stupid, it's embarrassing to watch at times. Yes, we get the typical Hollywood romance in which everyone falls in love on their date and instantly wants to get married!! This was just one of many stupid angles and lines by the characters. They were just plain dumb!
Anyway, I rarely knock a wholesome story. I'm a sucker for nice people, so I'll leave it at that.
