Enjoyment: I think 1978 was just a terrible time to make a musical. A lot of these songs would be good, but they've had all the life produced out of them. Meanwhile, there's no story to speak of. I guess it's supposed to be a romance, but nothing in that vein ever amounts to more than an excuse to feature 1950s scenery. C
GPA: 1.5/4
