-- so the best way to enjoy this is NOT to watch the second half. Turn it off at the intermission and you will not have to struggle through the plodding plot developments to come in the next hour regarding the
David Hemings character which must have also plagued the Broadway production.Though it does spring back and recover somewhat in the final five minutes, so it's easy enough to do a "scene selection" and edit the boring business entirely. Follow these instructions, and you will absolutely end up in movie musical heaven. This is, generally, a treat for the eyes and ears and thanks to the performances of the three leads well worth seeing.
