I entirely agree, I have never seen the appeal of this film.
Even allowing for its age, when film techniques were a lot different - the plot is so wet and warm you could bath a baby in it, the editing is clunky, the script is dreadful, the dialogue is all shouted, and the over-acting is endemic throughout.
I have only seen it once, and that was once too often.
It's possibly only beaten in my most contemptible pieces of celluloid by South Pacific - a plotless homo-erotic load of pap with forgettable songs and no story.
