I have always loved this musical despite it receiving fairly negative reviews upon cinematic release in 1969. It could be called an 'anti-musical', as the two male leads cannot sing; but I feel this adds charm, reveals more of their characters; and therefore creates an empathy with the audience. Harve Presnall as 'Rotten Luck Willy' is tremendous (what a voice), and the all-male chorus is sublime. Highlight of the movie: the 'Maria' sequence. It is one of the best performed songs ever featured in an American film musical.

It is bit long, it is a bit dated, but bye Jove it is very entertaining and very nostalgic. A really good film that takes you back to when they made really good films. Yes I rate this film.

Very interesting to compare this lavish version with my recollections of a much simpler provincial theatre stage presentation in about 1954 - probably before it hit the West End!
