i recently watch the 54 version of this film with judy and and while i appreciate the story and music and i find that the film fail to hold my attention . i expect the 76 remake to be the same story and except with a barbra twist . i be pleasantly surprised it be a much more realistic and modern look at fame and money and love and the price of it all . this version be so much more real than the 54 one and with arguably good music and good acting and a more gripping plot line and and and of course and a deep love . i do not understand why the previous film be on the american film institute top 100 list and while this grip remake fails to make a mark on any critic list .
