Really only worth it for the finale, which would work exactly the same out of context. Can only imagine how many people were traumatized for this.

*Some people say I dress too gay
But ev'ry day, I feel so gay
And when I'm gay, I dress that way
Is something wrong with that?*
No!
I want a tutti frutti hat!!!
I think it’s very funny to think that both Andy and Vivian really didn’t care about their marriage because they were thinking along different paths, but neither of them said anything, so they stayed engaged for years just because

The last number was a wild ride. Busby Berkeley was truly a genius, imagine the things that went through his mind when he pictured the choreographies in his head. Crazy.
Oh and the colors were beautiful too. I need to rewatch this in a theatre, the TV doesn't do the cinematography justice.
