I saw this many years ago, but a second view made me understand why it is considered a masterpiece. It is based on solid script and it has a clear message, delivered without pomposity: lots of people have hard lives and they need some fun entertainment to forget about their lives.
Perhaps depressing, but this is proved over and again, even if today's light entertainment is certainly less classy than this great movie.
