this be the version that even the author hat and because it so schmaltzy . they give it a happy end and change a lot of the dialogue and and it just a big pile of saccharine . the tage manager be quite good and i believe he originate the role and but everyone else fall into that act style of the 40 that be really just pose . the one great feature the music . this have one of the best score ever record and and it worth seek out in a record shop . overall i think the 1989 spalding grey or eric stoltz or penelope miller version be far superior .
