Negative Positive
Title: ugh!!!!!
Review: This is the worst movie musical ever made.It's hard to believethat this piece of junk was made by the same producer who didthe magnificent "My Fair Lady".I've read that Jack Warner spent$18 million on the production.Yes,it looks good.But the scriptis terrible-not that the show was great,anyway.And the entirecast overacts badly.One critic called it "an appalling film withonly good orchestrations to recommend it".Well,he's right.Atleast Alfred Newman and Ken Darby did a great job with the score.Their work makes the soundtrack listenable.Other than that,a poorscript,atrocious direction(Vincente Minnelli and George Cukorweren't available???),and SEVERE MISCASTING add up to a completemisfire.Forget it-listen to the soundtrack CD or the Broadwaycast album and watch "My Fair Lady " or "Gigi" instead.
Is the review positive or negative?
