These kinds of musicals did well in the 1950s. It gave people some relaxation, against the background of the Cold War, McCarthysm, etc. Now in 2011, these kinds of musicals are nothing, but the music of Cole Porter is still rock solid. Most Beautiful Scene; the ballet scene - From this Moment on - at the end of this stage-like musical. For the rest as a film to quickly forget.
2.0*

Although this is not my favorite musical, watching it still gives me a happy feeling. I can't help it either. The beautiful songs are well performed and the story (a variant on Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew") is also quite okay. Highlight: Keenan Wynn and James Whitemore's idiotic duet.

Airy and very nice musical with great songs by Cole Porter, who strangely enough also appears as a character at the beginning of the story.
It strikes me more and more that many musicals are about the production of a musical itself, as a kind of meta-story. Still quite curious.
