Hadn't seen this one in around thirty years, so I figured I'd take another look. Having done so, I'd have to say that on the whole, its classic reputation is probably well-deserved - it's a sweet enough story and it looks pretty good even now, so back when it was released over 75 years ago, it must have been positively mindblowing. Of course, you have to bear in mind that the past is a foreign country - one where the acting is hopelessly stagey and puns and repetition are the height of musical wit - but to be honest, it's still a sight more entertaining (and a sight less annoying) than the average modern family flick.
