| Howard Keel and Jane Powell head a dynamic cast in Hollywood's best danced musical, which also has a serviceable plot and outstanding songs. Adolph Deutsch and Saul Chaplin won Academy Awards for Best Score; also nominated were George Folsey's cinematography and Ralph E. Winters's editing. Michael Kidd's choreography is so spectacular that Stanley Donen's direction went almost unnoticed, but he does a fine job within the studio-set limitations. By this point in his career he had already directed three of the greatest film musicals of all time: this one, On the Town (1949) and Singin' in the Rain (1951), yet he was still only 30 years old. | |
