  Troubling. Strange. It's been a long while, but I think I recall a few moments of enchantment. I think it works better on the stage.

  Una muy grata sorpresa. Tanto en música, guión, decorados, vestuario... Una película moderna, atrevida y con un sentido del humor que me ha sorprendido muy gratamente.

  Franco Nero in tights, just a year after Django. It's a musical but the songs don't drive the story forward, they just underscore what has already been said. It's still enjoyable and well made.

  Found this musical fascinating thanks to its incredible WB Blu-ray release. The scale of it, the cast assembled, and the beauty of its set pieces were all astounding, but the parallels between this single production and the studio itself were captivating.
