Personally, I think it holds up incredibly well and I do think it may be the best made film of all time (so I am fine with the story though my personal favorite for entertainment is All About Eve) but if you are interested in film history watching those commentaries will provide the context.
Hear, hear. It is every bit as good as its craft.
