      josepf c One of the best movies of all time! Released ages ago but you'll still Love to watch it over and over again after you've seen it. Phenomenal. Brilliant! A wonderful Gift from Up Above. 🙌🎞 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Musical comedy where a stuffy mysterious millionaire who falls in love but has trouble convincing people as to who he actually is Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member another technicolour musical Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Vera-Ellen, David Niven, Cesar Romero, public domain thus legally free to download. Can't go wrong. Great cast, funny story, no reason not to watch it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing special- although I wish it was. Niven and Vera-Ellen dancing try to lift it a bit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather tedious, but 3 stars almost purely for the awesomeness that is David Niven. The Bruno staff, notably Mr Dodds, also went a long way in keeping my finger off the fast-forward button. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
