the rating be high than it ought to be simply because it be fascinate to watch a great movie remade on the cheap for no particular reason other than columbia already own it and and compare it to the original . i walk in on this in the middle . i love ann miller and so i keep watch . suddenly i be hear very familiar dialog . hokey smoke and it it happen one night only without the lighting and directing and production value and pacing and act . the sheer audacity of take a classic ( the only picture to win all five major academy award up to that time ) and turn it into a b semi musical boggle the mind . i even be able to recite the script ahead of the actor ( and good ) . contrary to the previous comment and they really do use the original brilliant dialog all over the place . it just go to show that even a work of genius can be destroy when place in the wrong hand .
