“1st watched 11/24/2001 – 7 out of 10(Dir-H. Bruce Humberstone): Toe-tapping, hit playing musical that doesnu0026#39;t have a plot line much different than many of this dancing/singing genre but it is played out so well by the stars involved that it keeps you interested. The songs have romance, humor, and hit quality chorusu0026#39;s that made me want to have the music itself(if itu0026#39;s available). This is supposed to have been the most popular war-time film and I can understand why although because a lot of people werenu0026#39;t going to the movies back then itu0026#39;s been relatively forgotten. Iu0026#39;m glad I was able to see this and it made me hunger for more of this type. Watch it if you can find it, it wonu0026#39;t disappoint you.”
