Audience Member As with most movies in the pre-coda period, the colors at the time were a sight to behold but this story and the singing were mediocre at best. It was too long in running and was undistinguished for wit, charm, or novelty. The song, "Am I Blue," was excellent. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie song ever sung: Am I Blue?! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
