i have to offset all the terrible comment . i love this movie . i own the movie and the soundtrack . i watch it whenever i need a pick me up . grant it not like the sound of music but it as much fun if pick at movie be not your thing . i adore the late ( and great ) bobby vann and and james shigeta have always and will always be a favorite . i saw this when it first come out in the theater . i be a big musical fan and this one be 100 time good than twiggy in the boyfriend . it a modern musical and shouldn not be judge by all that go before . it just the best for dreamer like me and who wish they could find this place no illness and no war and no drug and all the bad thing in life be go . this be nothing more than a feel good movie . that be what all movie should be about . shaun phillips title song be superb and explain the entire feel of the movie . if the act isn not the great who care . i love the idea of the movie . peter finch and a very stiff actor and liv ullmann and gorgeous a ever and sally kellerman and surprisingly good voice and michael york and typical and and olivia hussey and stunning and all convince me they be normal run of the mill people . not one of them act like actor in a movie . they act like real people and the same way i would act if i find this place . torn between go home and stay there and in awe of everything . yes and there be flaw in this movie and but get over it and it not citizen kane and it a feel good musical .
