My fellow commenters have done a lovely job of summing up the wonderfulness of this movie.
But I don't think enough has been said about Maria O'Brien.
She is the daughter of the late, great Edmond O'Brien, and she is off-the-hook funny in this movie.
I knew her "whackamolehthip" was laying it on thick, and I'm just a gringa with a good accent. And then she drops the accent when talking to the stage manager: "I need red and green gels for my entrance...."
"Applause, applause, applause...."
Maria O'Brien is brilliant.
She should be as famous as her father never was.
