The last time I viewed this film it was the version which is downloadable on Archive.org. After just watching the Kino Blu-ray version I can honestly say it's like watching a whole new film. The restoration is magical and the beautiful Meisel score is more prominent, making the whole 70 minutes far more expressive and affecting. Avoid the public domain copies you can find on the internet.

If it weren't for the Gene Kelly / Jerry the Mouse dance sequence there would be very little to write home about.

Another hit for the team of Arthur Freed, Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly. Funnier than its predecessor 'On the Town' and has better dance sequences, even if the camera movements aren't as kinetic and the songs not as famous. I'm beginning to learn that Arthur Freed is the common element in all the classic Hollywood musicals.

Made a great episode of The Simpsons possible.

Starts off slow but the patented Gervais/Merchant unapologetically sentimental ending brings it round. Excellent supporting cast includes a few familiar faces from The Office and Extras (who knew Steve Speirs could be so brilliant?) and great cameos from Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington. Technically not great (Kubrick, they are not) but a nice little story. DVD commentary is hilarious too.

Nothing happens.

If this isn't the most terrifying movie since The Shining, I don't know what is.

The funeral scene is the absolute best character introduction scene in any movie.

DO IT.

This is, to date, the only movie of the thousands I've watched in my life that I turned off before the end. I would give it zero stars if I could.

Utterly depressing, and had a fantastic dance sequence. Pretty average apart from that.

I agree with Mike. I had the fortune of seeing Once Bitten for the first time this week thinking it'd be "so bad it's good". But it ended up just being pretty good.
