Crosby gives a charming performance, while Fitzgerald gives a classic and lovable one. I might add that both of them won Best Actor and Supporting Actor, respectively. The film won four other awards (Director, Song, Story, and Screenplay), all of which it rightly deserved.

The film does have many faults though. While the story is relatively solid, there are a few events that seem either random or unnecessary. There …
