Yes, Rapshody is somewhat tedious and quite melodramatic, but let me mention the positive offsets:
1. The dazzlingly beautiful, voluptuous Elizabeth Taylor.
2. Adult themes, and must have been considered quite risqué at the time.
3. Emotionally charged classical music.
4. Generally quite well acted.
5. Good direction, cinematography, settings, and costumes.
Whether or not the positive offsets overcome the somewhat tedious, melodramatic plot depends on one's tolerance for melodrama and how strongly one values the various offsets.
