Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME

I know we're stuck with the list, but another one I'd try to find room for is George Cukor's Les Girls (1957), with some spectacular Jack Cole staging of the musical numbers. In the same way as Funny Face it's a great example of what's now called "mid-century modern" style and design. It ...
