Beautiful cinematography and set design. Plodding ballet sequences. Great songs. Blatant homo-erotic sub-tones....exactly why is Peter doing that scene without his shirt on? Peter jealous of Hans? The feeling is in every scene between the two leads. Intended? Check out the same situation in director Charles Vidor's "Gilda."
Anyway, nothing's better than Technicolor.
And, since IMDb requires ten lines for a review (who needs to listen to pontification?), let's see what else I can say. How many kids do you think sat still during that long ballet interlude? The last half of the film drags considerably. I agree with a previous comment...."Inch Worm" is the best song, and it didn't even make it into the original theatrical trailer.
