Decent song numbers. It's a self-contained musical with all the lyrics furthering the simple story. It's just fine and well done, for what it is. However, the most entreating aspects of this adaptation are Hepburn and Harrison. Great dialogue and performances make the central conflict between them fun to watch. Bits of sneaky comedy between their actions and dialogue are spread throughout. Enjoyable, easy watch.

One of the all-time greatest musicals: a film that resonates emotionally, while simultaneously containing some of the most singable and entertaining songs. One of my favorite movies, not just musicals. Audrey Hepburn is a gem.

While I found it charming in his first song, it seemed to get boring and make all of his songs sound too similar by the end of the film. Audrey Hepburn, however, did a marvelous job playing both a common flower girl and a respectable young lady.
There’s really not much to this film. There are some wonderful songs that to this …
