I feel I just saw a production produced by high school drama students. And they didn't use a Steadicam. They must have used a Shakicam. Let's shoot the whole thing hand held. I prayed for a steady shot anywhere! And why can't we recruit people who can sing on key? Russel Crowe as a singer? Give me a break! I yearned for a Sarah Briteman or even a Bette Midler or even a Linda Ronstadt. And this constant singing and no dialog. The production design is stellar, the makeup and costuming is very good but just a shoddy attempt at cinematography and directorial capability. Jerome Robbins where are you! Ray
