My wife and I watched this just shortly after we watched Singin' In The Rain...what a HUGE difference! Singin' In The Rain is still an enjoyable watch 70 years after it was released. This movie was a chore to watch and a literal assault on the ears. It was if the director thought he was directing on Broadway and required the actors to shout their dialog so that it could be heard at the back of the theater. Add to that a slew of regrettable English accents (from the Dick VanDyke school of cockney tomfoolery) and easily forgettable musical numbers, and you have a film that most modern day audiences will have trouble making it through. I know I did!
