I have watched this classic musical many times, and will again I am sure. My wife and I both enjoy it as a fun break from life. There was one time when I was feeling critical and cynical when we watched it, and I panned it in places, such as pointing out what seemed like overacting. My wife didn’t appreciate it and I don’t blame her. It is a fun ride with great music, and Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton John are actually quite good in it. And now that I think of it, trying to survive in the belly of the beast that is the mishandled pandemic might be the perfect time for my wife and I to watch it together again.
