I see what you are saying. That is why I kind of put it into "that kind of movies" bin - we certainly should not view it as we do La Strada.This morning the first thing I recalled about the film were again its costumes - it presents a great visual treat, those wonderfuly dressed concert going crowds! We have a friend, she teaches history of costume at Drexel, and she is madly in love with the early 20th century style - I must recommend the film to her. According to her she never wears anything younger than she is - and amazingly she never looks dated in those original period outfits! That is how you define good taste.
In terms of its costume design it reminded me to some degree My Fair Lady... not quite as much firework, but certainly the role the costumes played in both films was major.
And that was also a drawback of this one. For instance, the scenes of Nazi violence did not look right, they appeared to be shot in the My Fair Lady pavilion, with the resulting loss of realism. That would probably be my strongest criticism - too much beautification happened there.
