great filmaking...awful film

Rating: 2/10 (17 January 2002)

this is a lavishly produced and carefully choreograffed musical. Yet is silly and painfully slow. Skip it unless you are REALLY a fan of musicals and do not care much about plot or pacing. The choice of music is very clever as are the four character actors who dog the leading man and provide comic relief. They are sort of a cross between the June Taylor Dancers and The Marx Brothers.
