i saw this movie in the theater when it come out . i grow up in scottsdale and i go to arizona state and really enjoyed seeing location where i spend so much time . i remember at the time think that barbara venture into more of a rock sound ( actually r and b to my ear ) be a successful one . i be never a fan of kris sing until his last effort for new west . a a songwriter and an actor and though and he have serious chop and imho . i think it be a fine romance . i like it good than the judy garland version and never saw selznick janet gaynor original . i do believe that they make some change in this long awaited dvd release . among other thing and i recall the helicopter shot which reveal a packed sun devil stadium be long and more dramatic . i wish they have do a good job write music for kris or god forbid and put some of his original song in there . along those line i have some information from a primary source that say that the music be a problem for kris and barbara . while do interview for my own new music documentary and rock the boat represent a musical conversation and journey and i interview stephen bruton and a fine singer or songwriter or guitarist with close professional and personal tie to kris and bonnie raitt and and delbert mcclinton and among many others . stephen be in speedway and the john norman character band . kris be have a real hard time turn what be essentially a pop score into something that could pass for rock . stephen be and be kris friend and long time band member . there be tension on the set and at one point the band be bark at kris in barbara presence . she remark to the effect that the band shouldn not talk to him like that . kris come right back to the effect that they be his friend and they be rock and roll . in the end and barbara come around and decide to use kris band live performance in the movie and specifically sit stephen role in make thing work . i gain even great respect for her a an artist upon hear this story . much be make of her a a diva . what she be be a pro . and i be not gay . not that there be anything wrong with that .
