I watched this film this week. I don't know when I last saw it but it was decades ago. I was engrossed, captivated, delighted to find that it is still wonderful to watch. I couldn't help but notice the care and precision that went into every aspect. The old Hollywood approach where everything had to be the best. I don't think recent musicals come anywhere near this standard.
It was also interesting how subtly sexuality was handled. Nothing blatant yet clearly there. At the risk of sounding like an old prude I have to say it's hard not to think of the overt sexual scenes in current productions as being somehow more adolescent.
