needless remake and and it can not come close to capture the charm of the original . the extreme length cause more than a few yawn induce part . this version be ridiculously politically correct . the film lack style and and mostly it lack talent and not just with the acting and but the direction and set and costume etc . be all below par . it have a blatant disregard for period detail . vanessa williams be the only cast member that show any flair and tyne daly isn not too bad . they should have leave well enough alone . the singing range good ( vanessa williams ) to poor ( everyone else ) . watch the original 1963 version and skip this one . there be not much here to recommend .
