Date: 20 February 2001 Summary: Not only a great musical,a great movie
One thing I noticed in reading the comments of this movie is that nobody
recognized the screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Without their
screenplay the movie does not get made. It is a great script that was made
better by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donens' fluid direction. Everything in this
movie glides effortlessly. Throw in dancing by Donald O'connor, Debbie
Reynolds, Cyd Charisse and of course Gene Kelly, Great songs and the
willingness of producer Arthur Freed to let the creative people to do their
thing and you have a classic.
