What I like? Never thought it, as a whole, really good. Natalie Wood can't dance worth a fart and at one point almost falls on her face. But more to the point, why are operas mostly so melodramatic? Look at Carmen Jones! Easy does it. Apart from all that, the intro is masterful and, may I say it? much better than the end titles. |
