I feel a bit more on safe ground to read that you are not super excited about this one either.

I understand if this is considered a good musical, but as a film I do not find much in it.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-91698653203943947072014-09-14T20:15:42.162+03:002014-09-14T20:15:42.162+03:00I'm a musical lover and On the Town is not a f...I'm a musical lover and On the Town is not a favorite with me either. The musical numbers are just not stand-outs, at least for me, and without that there's just nothing to bring me back. The film might have worked out better if the songs in the original Bernstein stage musical had been retained but that was not to be.<br />marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-48485523337262699872014-09-14T18:04:18.119+03:002014-09-14T18:04:18.119+03:00Yep.

There are plenty of musicals out there (your mentions of Top Hat and Love Me Tonight come to mind) that even the most die-hard musical hater can enjoy. But this one? There's nothing here for those of us not a fan of the style to latch onto and everything for the musical lover to enjoy. <br /><br />It's a great example of the style, but not one I'd go out of my way to watch again.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
