Being a 16 year old boy with a huge psychological plot appetite, I couldn't wait to see this film. Yet nothing could prepare me for the perfection that followed. The lines between reality, and imagination are closely blurred. This is the kind of movie where you understand it more with time. It Starts at the end and then tells the story of how it got to that point, and then tells what happened afterwords. The writing is so good that as soon as you are sure that you know what is happening, the plot twist occurs, yet it is a plot twist that is not expected. It all makes sense psychologically, and physically. I wish all current movies were written this well.

Do not believe bad reviews of this movie! I have loved it for as long as I remember. The symphonic music that the last review stupidly criticized is lovely pieces by genius composer Edvard Grieg. I still get chills when Van Johnson sings a song boasting of his accomplishments, with the Grieg piece Anitra's dance as the melody. Plus Claude Rains sings! This movie has great songs, great sets, great costumes, and is fun for everybody. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes the story of the pied piper, or those who like musicals. It is a gorgeous movie. It has a perfect cast. I rate this a 10.
