Ratings and reviews

This movie is witty and adorable. I have loved it ever since I saw it on TMC. Amazing, most definitely in my top 5. I usally don't like musicals that much, but this made it. Unlike any other.

Google finally published the remastered version here. Grew up watching this movie.

A Classic that has it all - fun escape to innocence.
