I had never seen this movie before but my friends Jocey and Celia insisted I had to, and I’m so glad I did. :) The “Make ‘Em Laugh” sequence has been something I’ve known and loved for years, and I can’t believe I was depriving myself of the rest of this film for so long. Gorgeous, vibrant, joyful, funny, and cornball in all the best ways.
And the dancing! A beautiful physicality that is all but gone from modern film in the most crushing way. It’s why those dancing scenes with Channing Tatum in Hail, Caesar! made my heart soar so much; a glimmer of what talent might still exist, hidden in the repertoire of some of our greatest stars, if only someone were to just fucking usher it out of them! Give us more incredible choreographed dancing routines, goddamn it! The people deserve it!
I’m late to the party but yeah, it’s as good as people make it seem.
One of the more entertaining films I’ve seen, not a single dull moment. Also Cosmo is the best part of it.
i wish we could turn all bad movies with lost potential into big sweeping musicals that would really solve a lot of my problems

My grandmother had the biggest crush on Gene Kelly when she was very young. Most women did. The guy was handsome, talented, and flooded the room with his charisma. But my grandmother's relationship with Gene Kelly was special. Kelly was a dead ringer for her uncle, who shared a closer relationship with each other than my grandmother did with her own father. My great uncle didn't just look like Gene Kelly: He danced like Gene Kelly. He sung like Gene Kelly. He practically was Gene Kelly. My grandmother and her uncle went everywhere together, especially the movies.
But my grandmother only got to know my great uncle for a relatively short amount of time. He died in 1943 when she…
I didn’t expect a musical from the early 50’s to make me laugh so hard. I’m not even into musicals that much, but I loved every minute of this. It’s nothing but a good time of joyful entertainment, glorious songs, and stunning choreography.
watching this is like injecting pure happiness into your veins i literally can't stop smiling!!!
I hate this film.
It makes me want to sing and dance.
And whenever I sing and dance a unicorn loses its horn.
Turning it into a horse with an ugly bald spot.
Forcing a mane comb over.
A mane over.
Manover.
Mover.
Move.
And we're back to dancing.
Bloody film.
*dances away to the sound of falling unicorn horns*
obviously a clockwork piece of synchronized color, choreography and music but also just an incredibly sharp and funny industry satire that pokes fun at itself while simultaneously buying into every ludicrously romantic, fantastic image it can come up with an excuse to conjure in 100 minutes. beautiful compositions and athletic movement made to appear as effortless and joyous as possible. a perfect movie. was a dream to see this in a theater.
