i recently buy the dvd and forgetting just how much i hat the movie version of a chorus line . every change the director attenborough make to the story fail . by make the director cassie relationship so prominent and the entire ensemble premise of the musical sail out the window . some of the musical number be speed up and rush . the show hit song get the entire meaning shatter when it be give to cassie character . the overall staging be very self conscious . the only reason i give it a 2 and be because a few of the great number be still able to be enjoy despite the film attempt to squeeze every bit of joy and spontaneity out of it .
