Hey look... I like this film, it's a classic, groundbreaking etc..... but when you consider the overwrought, melodramatic acting, lousy pacing, basically unlikeable or at least unmemorable characters...... and the mind-numbingly obvious symbolism that repeats over and over and over and OKAY FRITZ I GET IT ALREADY SO GET ON WITH THE MOVIE....... and the fact the film suffers from missing footage and inevitable aging...... the colorization is an improvement, and the choice of music was basically determined by 1) what was reasonably popular at the time and 2) available at a reasonable price."Great" and "enjoyable" don't always go hand in hand.
