Customer Reviews

Modification O.K. music appalling.

The screenwriter's license allows for some deviation from the original movie. I have to admit I like the original movie much better. For that matter, the musical was better. However, it is everyone's right to try something different. Who knows until you try? Yet, there is no excuse for the unprofessional singing, and there was more missing than they said there would be. Now trying not to compare the 1956 movie, this rendition is still stilted and unprofessional. The actors do not fit the characters they play. And the storyline is much harder to follow. I can understand trying something different. But who thought that it would sell?
