So wonderful! Brings back so many memories…….there is not many of us left now that can understand this film! Thank you.
Thank you for the wonderful movie. The language of music and dance is universal and timeless… the marvelous Cyd Charisse in full bloom/swing. What's more Roland Petit and Moira Shearer are now the egends of classical dance !!!!!!
By the way the quality of the film is less important. The very ART is vital and eternal…
