    I love the music – a film to watch, glass of wine in hand, when the other half is out and I can sing along – but it does rather whitewash the Austrians and make it appear that barely any of them beyond a few naive youths were Nazis. It is also a bit sugary at times.

    As a whole, I think that South Pacific is a better, all-round Rogers & Hammerstein show – good themes (racism and ageism to name but two), super music and, in terms of the film, Rossano Brazzi...

    For wtwt5237, I'd suggest that Cabaret is an absolute must-see.

    Chicago isn't bad – just can't live up to the stage show, in my opinion.

    Unfortunately, there's not really been any decent attempts to film any Stephen Sondheim shows – I'm eagerly awaiting Tim Burton's version of Sweeney Todd.

    Otherwise, I'd always recommend The Music Man for the pure joy of Robert Preston's ebulliant performance. Indeed, a personal favourite is Victor/Victoria, also with a superb performance from Preston.

    And for something completely different, so to speak, there's always The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    The Producers.

    You're not easily offended are you? Really unexpectedly good music, and of course Nathan Lane is brilliant as ever. Very witty, very intelligent humor, we can forgive Mel Brooks the occasional cheap gags and puns. The choreography in the movie is the most beautiful I've seen.

    Hi all
    This is an unforgettable, universal movie. The music of this movie is great, cool and universal. This is family film. It touches the hearts. If the movie follows the book then it may be cooler movie.
