One of the most entertaining films to come out of Hollywood this musical was the first to be made extensively on location for some unforgettable shots of post war New York. It was also the beginning of a great decade for the MGM musical, the opening is one of the most exhilirating sequences in cinema. The score isn't its strongest point, some numbers from the Broadway show were removed and the final ballet isn't Gene Kelly's finest hour but the rest is sheer heaven.  An unsung sequence I love is when Kelly dances with Vera Ellen to When You Walk Down Main Street with Me.
