despite much style and flash and and glitter and this french musical fails to speak . the tune be repetitive and predictable and and tedious . the story be uninteresting and a be the many character . people break into song and dance and without motivation or reason . most of the cast wear phony look wig and hairpiece and and the set look hopelessly studio bound . to be honest and this video of the restored version be stop before the end and so negative an effect it have on me . certainly a shame and to have such a multi talented cast in so feeble a final effort . go to show and i guess and where followup ( in this case and to the great classic and umbrellas ) often do go awry . one can not recapture and only recreate .
