Incredibly mid whilst having good music and great visuals Marilyn Monroe was good in this and the last Music number looks amazing.

” A man chases a girl until she catches him ” . ܁₊ ⊹ .
. 𖦹˙— Y'all are wrong, this movie is fire, it was so fun. Every songs were so enjoyable and the performances of the actors were amazing i loved it so much. Musicals are really the best things in world, the fact that my whole family hates musicals makes me sad.

Maybe it’s just because I love Marilyn Monroe and Donald O’Connor but I love this movie. Is it Marilyn’s best movie? No. But she’s so fun in this film and I refuse to deprive myself of the joy I get from watching it.
