Review of Kismet

Kismet (1955)
9/10
Will we ever see this underrated classic on Blu-ray, I hope so
6 May 2012
For me this is one of the best of the Hollywood musicals, The story of Scheherazade the music of Borodin, Great Technicolor cinematography, and great stars like Howard Keel and Ann Blyth singing great lyrics, wonderful arabian nights sets that are to die for, it just doesn't get much better than this. Special mention must also go to Delores Gray as Lalume, Wow what a performance, I shall never forget either the incredible costumes that she wore. So if you are like me and love the old Hollywood musicals, make sure you get to see this long forgotten gem. Please please please please please release this on HD Blu-ray so we can all enjoy this underrated classic musical in the best print possible, in fact release all the great technicolor films on Blu-ray, after all they are a big part of movie history and the ones that have been released like Singin in the rain, look wonderful.
