It's hard to make a good musical with mediocre songs... One exception... the sweetness and gracefulness [of Gene Kelly and Vera-Ellen] in "Main Street."

Delightful, athletic stuff with some unusual -- but wonderful -- location shooting. New York never looked better.

Remains an entertaining vehicle and stepping-stone for its star Kelly, who also co-directed with Stanley Donen.
