Great musical, stands the test of time


I see that some of my original comments disappeared along with someone's original post "Underrated!", so I will have to just repeat myself. Took another look, after a 5 year hiatus...wonderful uplifting film ! Guaranteed to raise your spirits ! What once seemed politically incorrect is now a wonderful tribute to the oriental culture, and a wonderful time capsule of the early 1960's. Outstanding all the way around...directing, casting, acting, sets, photography, dancing, music direction...you name it ! And...I am acquiring a new respect for Rodgers & Hammerstein who wrote sincere songs from the heart, instead of just for the cabaret. Wonderful period piece...!
