5 stars (Exceptional) A childhood favourite and a Classic Musical with an adventurous journey. From the wacky inventions to the dreamlike journey, it's a film filled with familiar songs to all with some memorable dance scenes. ~Anon

3 stars (Good Enough) Its length causes it to run out of steam and although its not a great musical there are some segments that are very well done. There is a very good British supporting cast of comedy actors led by Lionel Jeffries and Benny Hill. ~Tubbs
