Disappointing film ... the cinematography was wonderful, the costumes were fantastic. Emmy is beautiful and a wonderful actress, but she's NOT an opera singer. Patrick is pretty to look at; too bad he can't act or sing. Gerard was perfect I think; great actor, just the right 'edge' to his voice to be convincing. The new orchestrations are lush and just right. I was most impressed with Miranda and Minnie, and quickly got over the fact that Minnie's voice was dubbed for the singing; she's a marvelous comedic actress and has been overlooked for far too long.
