I loved this movie, and I'd say it's one of my top 10 favorite musicals. While the story is pretty similar to On the Town and Anchors Aweigh, there are also some original aspects to it. I absolutely loved Debbie Reynolds and Russ Tamblyn together, and I think the dynamic between their two characters was one of my favorite parts of the entire film. I also really liked the costumes, songs, and over the top sets. The story has some interesting twists and turns and I liked how the stories of each character became intertwined. In general, the movie has good characters, as well as good casting. Ann Miller gives a great performance in this film. Her dancing talent is very well showcased in the end scene of the film. One of my favorite scenes in the entire film was where Danny and Carol are in the funhouse. The crazy sets as well as their characters made it a very fun scene to watch. While similar to other musicals of the decade, this film is underrated and I would definitely recommend it.

I don't really stick to one genre, as I just watch whatever looks interesting! I look forward to broadening my horizons in terms of film and reviewing them to the best of my ability in an honest way. Reading another passion of mine, and I'm frequently told I have an old soul, so expect to see a lot of older films being reviewed. I hope you can find what you need here! Archives
