You can argue with the movie in your head, even while you admit—say, when Dick and Jo dance their way across a stream by lightly stepping onto a floating raft—that your heart is having all sorts of fun. - 80
Time Out
Sensation trumps cogitation-unsurprising in a Hollywood production-which doesn't negate the enduring allure of this beautiful bauble. - 80
Empire
A timeless musical treat and the most fun you can have with really elegant clothes on. - 80
The New York Times
