Exhilarating!!! I have no words to express how I feel about this film...oh! Except , the fact that this movie inspired me to first ,want to become a nun second, to have 8 kids and finally to major in music education in college.Of course I decided that teaching music to kids was the easiest of all the choices. Lol love it!!!! Wizard of Oz -West Side Story-Carmen- Carmen Jones - Porgy and Bess

I'm shocked only 1 review? Look I'm a married man 26 years old I have 2 boys and even I think this is one of the greatest films ever made, I remember watching this as a kid a lot, easily still in my top 10 all time favorites, which is saying a lot because I'm usually into action, suspense, and SciFi films.
