MGM had so little faith in this film that they cut the budget which accounts for some of the phony sets the actors perform against. It turned out to be when of their biggest box office hits of that year beating out their overblown turkey Brigadoon.
The film was very well directed by Stanley Donen with the dances and musical numbers staged by Michael Kidd. The dance numbers particularly the barn raising number are extremely well done.
A superior Hollywood musical during the 1950's.
102 minutes, written by Albert Hackett, Frances Goodrich and Dorothy Kingsley.
