Review

this movie has it all, but it all starts with a great screenplay – the story is timeless and tightly told, the screen direction is nearly perfect and the script is brilliant. all the performances are good, some are great. flynn, de havilland and rains come to mind. another strength is the score which rightly won an academy award; it really drives the film and is present throughout almost the entire film. of course it’s a great looking picture as well – the sets, costumes and color photography are all top notch. there’s a reason this is still popular after 66 years. a great film for all ages, this is the kind of film that everyone in the family can agree upon while at the video store, and if not then your family has problems.
