Doesn't really work for me, although the closing ballet sequence is a beautiful achievement. But as a full movie it's got a lot of rough edges: Mulligan is a smarmy, unlikeable character; Caron has very little personality and no chemistry with Kelly; and Nina Foch turns in the one interesting character but gets treated as an afterthought. Levant is a fun sidekick and a couple of the numbers are ok, but it's never been one of my favorite musicals.
