It is often a difficult task to translate successful Broadway musical to film. David Swift directs reprising his Broadway assignment and, yes, the film feels stage bound. The transfer is bright and packs plenty of punch. Images are sharp, but it appears the DVD pressing may originate from a composite transfer. There were some cross color artifacts and films detail exhibits some jitter.
Color is the best thing about the transfer.
Cartoon color schemes dominate most scenes. From The Adventures of Robin Hood to Casablanca, director Michael Curtiz made movies that delighted audiences. Lovers of Hong Kong movies will relish MC4's site that includes reviews and other information about the Hong Kong movie scene. Excellent resource for movie review links, with many early looks.
