I really enjoyed the story this movie told

I really enjoyed the story this movie told, especially for a musical whose song & dance numbers mostly halt the plot rather than advance it. The background plot was better designed than the similar A Double Life from a few years prior as it went beyond the obvious mimicry of the plot of the play. I had the same concerns here as I had with other musicals (namely Moulin Rouge) in that their inserting dialogue between the actors on the stage in full view of the audience wasn't very realistic, though I've never went to a professional adult stage play before so perhaps it's easier to have a conversation that the audience doesn't hear than I imagine it is. The main guy reminded me a lot of Affleck's character from Shakespeare in Love & it's easy to imagine Affleck playing this role if he'd lived in the 1950s. The gangsters were an absolute highlight here, particularly when I discovered that one of them was Brooks in Shawshank Redemption! I would've preferred they cut out some of the actual play if they were gonna do multiple songs about how the characters were feeling as they kept generating plot momentum in a way that made the later songs seem like unnecessary delays that increased the runtime to nearly two hours, but that's alright because the songs really were quite good. This was still an excellent viewing experience.

If you, like me, are a fan of

if you, like me, are a fan of the genre and have yet to see this "essential musical" - you, friend, are most definitely missing out. The cream of the crop; genre, era, songs, choreography, characters... even costuming. A fat load of favourites - singers- Keel & Grayson, dancers - Miller & Fosse, comedians - Wynn & Whitmore.... James Whitmore??! YEP!! show stealing performance??!...YEP!!
