I love musicals, that should be kind of obvious. I'm not sure why people go on about someone having a different opinion. We all think what we think and I said clearly that you folks having a different opinion is fine. And that works in all directions, know what I'm saying? :)
As I said, I like a few of his films. But Easter Parade, Barkleys, and Summer Stock are about the musical numbers and the people who do them. His work is meat-and-potatoes, which is fine. You feel otherwise, and that's fine.
Mr. Walters wasn't really a director. He lucked into that position, but I really don't care for many of his films. A couple of times he got lucky, where the alchemy was right.
