Just bumping this so interested viewers will be aware of Saturday's early morning showtime information. See top post for details, review and a sample clip from the film.
I don't particularly like musicals, but I absolutely love this film. I even have a copy of it. One of the greatest films ever made. If you haven't seen it, don't miss it.
