    This was exactly the mood I was in the night I watched it. A good ol' cheesy, contrived, let's-burst-into-song-and-dance-while-we're-walking-down-the-street, walk-off-into-the-sunset-at-the-end 1950's movie musical. And that's exactly what it was and therefore it was very satisfy...( read more)ing. As far as said GOCCL-B-I-S-A-D-W-W-W-D-T-SW-O-I-T-S-A-T-E-1MMs go (gah, that was ridiculous) it wasn't nearly as good as Singin' in the Rain, but it was a heck of a lot better than, say, There's No Business Like Show Business. Most of the songs were enjoyable, while not memorable, and there were actually quite a few dance scenes that made us go, "Whoa. That would be....rather hard." Pretty decent entertainment.

    Kelly & Donen's third outing and also their least recognized. while the plot was choppier and more melancholy than the usual fare of a golden age musical, it still had its shining moments of amazing choreography, clever editing, touching musical numbers, and a nice bite of satir...( read more)e.

    Worth seeing if you are a fan of old musicals. Gene Kelly is good and Cyd Charisse is great. There are some good dance numbers, and Cyd plays an incredibly brainy career woman (unique for a 50s movie). The movie is a little downbeat, really, being about a trio of guys who are dis...( read more)illusioned about each other after the war and are exploited by TV producers. Not depressing, though, just a little different from some other musicals.

    Gene dancing with roller skates on... pure magic!

    It was pretty much a flop when it came out, but it's really a fun, quirky musical. Don't miss: Gene Kelly on roller skates and the awkward "singing in their heads" scene in the restaurant.

    Gene Kelly tap dancing in roller skates is definitely a sight to be seen!
