5/5 Outstanding quality

5/5 Musical History

Taken from the broadway play, with a marvelous cast, I love either seeing this on television or watching it around the 4th of July. A good history lesson and good tunes.

5/5 Happy Fourth of July!

Viewing this movie is a traditional part of our Fourth of July celebration and it is so nice to have it in our library and not have to look for it at the video store.
