It didn’t age well, but it’s still beautifully shot and fun if you can get past some unsavory references.

Fine dramatisation and musical that is a product of its time. I suspect the real story and characters are far more interesting.

It may not be the true story of what really happened to these people, but it's still one of my favorite musicals!

A beautiful movie. Yul Brenner is amazing in this film. Heartfelt, grand, and gorgeous to look at and listen too. Fabulous story.

Pretty ok version of the story. If you’re a fan of the animated one or more modern versions, it’s worth going back to this one

Overly long and only a couple of the songs are effective.
